Black Valve

Black Valve is a highly adaptive compressor with a vintage tube sound. It is based on a classic analog device containing a tube pre-amp in conjunction with a classic compressor.

Drive

Controls the amount of tube saturation.

Gain

Sets the input gain for the compressor section to adjust the gain after the tube stage,

Reduction

The LEDs show the gain reduction.

Peak Reduction

Combines the threshold and ratio parameters from common compressors. The higher the value, the more compression occurs.

Dry/Wet

Adjusts the mix between the dry signal and the wet signal, preserving the transients of the input signal. This allows for parallel compression.

Output

Sets the output gain.
