In the '60s and '70s, artists like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Stevie Wonder elevated popular music into art. Analog tube limiters played a pivotal role in transforming those classic songs into monumental recordings. The Lindell Audio MU-66 Tube Compressor captures this era's holy grail of analog tube limiters. It gives you all the control, character, and smoothness of an iconic piece of hardware, with expanded features for those who want to do even more with its incredible tone.
Timeless color and tube saturation
This precise emulation of the most revered Vari-Mu compressor captures everything that makes the original gear timeless. Its fast attack times ensure tight dynamics control while preserving the punch of transients. The adjustable knee enhances the versatility of the Lindell Audio MU-66, while the tubes and transistors deliver its signature golden tones.
Your new favorite vocal compressor
This Vari-Mu compression is perfect for vocal production, preserving the charm and enhancing the character of vocal transients while adding cohesion and warmth. That's why you can hear this style of Vari-Mu compression all over the tracks of legendary voices, including Adele and Amy Winehouse.
Analog compression with modern control
Use exact replications of the original parameters on the holy grail of tube compressors or push beyond. The Lindell Audio MU-66 includes various sidechain options, a SMASH switch for heavy compression effects, and a NIVEAU filter that leads to natural-sounding compression.
