3.2.2.2 Feedforward Mode – A Moder Twist o Vari-Mu Compression
While feedforward compression is more commonly found in VCA or digital compressors,
ngTubeComp introduces a unique feedforward mode specifically adapted for vari-mu topology—a rarity in
analog designs.
In a feedforward compressor, the control signal is derived before the gain reduction stage—meaning the
compressor reacts to the input signal rather than the output. This generally results in a faster, more precise,
and assertive response. However, in classic vari-mu designs, a simple feedforward implementation often leads
to undesirable behavior, such as artifacts, instability, or even "negative compression" (where louder signals
are unintentionally boosted).
To overcome these challenges, we developed a custom logarithmic compression curve that compensates
for the natural non-linearity of the vari-mu tube. This innovative approach eliminates artifacts and delivers a
cleaner, more controlled compression character, all while preserving the tube warmth and musicality
expected from the ngTubeComp.
Feedforward mode is ideal when more precise or modern dynamic control is desired—such as for drums,
percussive sources, or aggressive vocal compression—without sacrificing the analog depth and character.
3.2.3 How to Disable Compression
To effectively bypass compression on the ngTubeComp, set the Threshold control to 0. At this setting, the
compressor does not apply gain reduction, allowing the input signal to pass through unaltered. This is useful
when you want to utilize the unit's other features, such as tube saturation or tonal coloration, without engaging
compression.
3.2.4 Saturation Stages
The ngTubeComp features two analog saturation stages designed to enrich the audio signal with
harmonic content and analog warmth. These stages—THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and Tube (Gain
Staging)—work independently within the signal path, allowing engineers to shape tonal character with precision
and musicality.
These stages are always active in the signal path, regardless of compression activity, offering flexible
ways to introduce subtle harmonic coloration or more pronounced analog saturation as needed.
3.2.4.1 THD – Total Harmonic Distortion
The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) feature represents a pivotal first analog block within the signal
chain of the ngTubeComp, renowned for delivering rich, controllable saturation through a proprietary circuit by
WesAudio, a design highly esteemed within the audio industry.
