Plugin Alliance has announced the release of an emulation of a unique compressor that combines a solid state diode bridge using Germanium crystal semiconductors with all-tube and massive transformer-coupled amplification; the Neold U17.
In 1954, a truly unique compressor appeared on the scene: the U17. Built by Allgemeine Telefon-Fabrik in Hamburg for the NWDR broadcasting network, only a few dozen units of this exemplary analog masterpiece were manufactured, making this gem one of the rarest compressors ever built.
Neold U17 features
- Painstakingly modeled on legendary, extremely rare, analog studio hardware from 1954.
- Unique combination of a solid-state diode bridge with all-tube transformer-coupled amplification.
- Flexible and easy-to-use soft clipper combined with a vintage compressor.
- Torque control for blending from gentle and transparent to straight and aggressive.
- Auto modes for attack and release.
- Sidechain monitoring button.
