A faithful emulation of the classic analog buss compressor, with added features such as NUKE hyper-compression and THD®. The initial release consists of a thorough emulation of the wide and punchy stereo version and an even more versatile multi-band version which is planned to arrive in the Fall of 2022 as a FREE upgrade.
Have you ever dreamt about owning your very own sixties tube mixing console? Just try multiple instances of the V76U73 on your instruments and busses to feel that instantly compelling old school vibe building up track by track. Capture the old school vibe of one of the richest sounding tube preamps and compressors in audio history. The Telefunken V76 is a legendary piece of audio history. These iconic tube preamps were designed with nearly unlimited funding from the German government, and have enhanced countless music productions from the 1950s till today. With a rich, enchanting low end, and some of the smoothest highs you’ll ever hear, it’s no wonder that the original V76 preamps have all been snatched up for top dollar by high-end studios and collectors the world over. Simply running signal through these devices without moving a single knob can bring new life and dimension to just about any signal. But the V76 isn’t the only powerhouse of a tonal shaper from this family of modules. The U73 compressor/limiter builds on this tone, adding exceptionally smooth-sounding “variable mu” dynamic control that earned this tool the nickname of the “The German Fairchild.”
TB MBC does it all: up to 10 bands with configurable cross-over steepness, two compressor curves per band, upward compression, downward compression, positive and negative saturation, and stereo width processing packed in a flexible and intuitive user interface. Yes, that is up to 20 compression curves to sculpt your tracks, busses and masters to perfection.
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.

The Firechild includes 4 models of the Vari-Mu Compressor ranging from Tube Versions (A/B/C) to a transparent version accurately sampled and emulated from the originals of the 1950s. Use this for the Master, or individual tracks, you will be pleasantly surprised!
MJUC is the most effortful plugin to date. It took almost two years of extensive, dare I say “excessive”, research and development. To create MJUC I’ve researched and analyzed each and every variable-mu* implementation I could get my hands on to get the best of tube compression into a single processor. In order to do the diversity of this compression topology justice, three different models have been built. These are kind of a time travel though the history of tube compression to capture the essence of each generation. Each model has its own dedicated signal path and dedicated control set. If desired you can tweak the overall tone and saturation of each model with the unique TIMBRE and the DRIVE control. DRIVE controls the load of the input and output transformers as the saturation of the tube gain stages, if applicable. The TIMBRE extends MJUC’s use as a tone shaping device.
