About jsBudbrainCompressor

Music, videos, games, calls in the browser — everything your computer plays runs through two glowing dual-triode tubes and a studio compressor. The tubes add warmth and rich harmonics, the compressor brings everything together and gives it punch.

The tube stage is a real circuit simulation in 64-bit: two triode stages with their resistors and capacitors, calculated sample by sample at four times the sample rate. Turn up the drive and you hear — and see — the tubes work harder: they glow brighter the more they are driven.

Two VU meters with real needle movement show the input, the output or the gain reduction. Pick one of the ready-made settings or build your own and save it under a name.
