Century Tube Channel Strip

The Century Tube Channel Strip plugin is designed to keep you in the creative zone while recording and mixing. Its vintage-inspired tube mic preamp delivers warmth and detail to your vocals, offering a stunning range of tones from subtle to saturated. With a Low/High gain switch, you can match the preamp to your microphone, from modern condensers to vintage ribbon mics.

The intuitive three-band EQ quickly brings out details in vocals, adds punch to guitars, and gives acoustic instruments a vibrant shine. The classic optical leveler simplifies compression with a single knob, perfect for taming dynamic performances or adding grit and texture to your tracks.

Century Tube Channel Strip plug-in offers vintage-inspired tone and character, making it an essential tool for any producer.
