Plugin Alliance Lindell MU-66

In the 60s and 70s, artists such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Stevie Wonder turned popular music into art. Analog tube limiters played a critical role in turning these classic songs into monumental recordings. The Lindell Audio MU-66 Tube Compressor is the holy grail of analog tube limiters of this era. It gives you all the control, character and smoothness of the iconic hardware, with expanded capabilities for those who want to do even more with its incredible tone.
