Plugin Boutique has announced a limited time promotion on the native version of Universal Audio’s 175B & 176 Tube Compressor Collection, a plugin suite featuring painstaking circuit emulations of Bill Putnam Sr.’s rare and iconic 175B and 176 tube compressors.

Introduced in the early 1960s, Universal Audio’s 175B™ and 176™ compressors were the first audio compressors purpose-built for studio recording and mixing music. Often cited among the crowning achievements of audio pioneer and UA founder Bill Putnam Sr., the 175B and 176 are prized for their rich tube gain reduction character, fast attack, and sonic flexibility.

With only roughly 1,000 units made, vintage 175B and 176s easily command well over $5,000 on the vintage market today, and they can be found in the racks of some of the world’s finest studios. Now, you can track and mix with the only authentic plug-in emulation of the original UA 175B and 176 compressors.

Regularly $299 USD, the 175B & 176 Tube Compressor Collection is on sale for the intro price of $89 USD until July 24th, 2023.
