Overview

Tube limiting, circuit-accurate.

Relab 176 is a circuit-level recreation of a 1960s variable-gain tube limiting amplifier, the tube forerunner of the solid-state 1176. Every tube, transformer, timing network and power-supply interaction is solved in real time to preserve the original tone and dynamics. It offers four fixed ratios with program-dependent knee and timing.

Highlights

Real-time full-circuit tube modelling
Four fixed ratios (2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1)
Program-dependent RC-tube timing
Polarity-selective sidechain detection
Switchable transformer or resistor coupling
Calibration controls for tube bias and harmonics
