• Metering in Mid-Side Mode: Metering remains within the Mid/Side domain and is not influenced by the
IRON PAD setting.
• IRON PAD Function: The IRON PAD is the final analog circuit before the output XLR connector,
allowing for passive signal attenuation just before it exits the unit. This feature provides additional
control over transformer saturation based on the signal level. However, it is important to note that the
IRON PAD setting does not prevent internal clipping. For instance, distortion from the transformer
saturation caused by excessively high input levels will not be alleviated by adjusting the IRON PAD
value.
3.3 Analog Features
3.3.1 Mute
The Mute function allows for the complete silencing of one or both channels. When the Link parameter is
enabled, muting applies to both channels simultaneously. In M/S mode, the Mute function can be used to mute
either the Mid or Side channel independently, allowing to hear only the Side or Mid channel for more focused
processing and creative control over the stereo field.
3.3.2 Iron Link
Another innovative feature of the ngTubeComp is the ability to link the IRON PAD with the OUTPUT control
when in IRON mode. This can be done:
• through a dedicated GUI control.
• by touching both the OUTPUT and IRON PAD encoders simultaneously.
This functionality enhances sound sculpting capabilities by allowing precise management of gain staging,
enabling creative saturation and distortion effects while maintaining unity gain.
How the Link Feature Works
When engaged, the link ensures that adjustments to the OUTPUT level are mirrored by corresponding changes
in the IRON PAD attenuation. This allows users to drive the transformer stage more aggressively for increased
saturation or harmonic enhancement, without altering the overall output level. Essentially, you can achieve a
more saturated, character-rich signal from the transformer stage without increasing the output volume,
preserving the balance of the mix.
Creative Applications
This feature is especially useful for engineers looking to enhance the character and texture of a track or mix
without altering its overall mix level. By driving the signal harder into the transformer stage, users can achieve
added warmth, richness, and subtle harmonic coloration, all while maintaining a consistent output level. This
allows for increased saturation and tonal enhancement without affecting the track's placement in the mix.
