Antelope Audio Tubechild 670

The holy grail of vari-mu tube compressors modeled to perfection after the most expensive and sought-after 1950s studio legend.

Tubechild670 brings you the true sound of the golden age of rock'n'roll. Not only a studio legend but an expensive collector's item, the hardware original is found on more records you can listen to in a few lifetimes. Found on anything from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Motown to modern-day pop, rock, and metal, Fairchild 670 has been an essential tool for over 70 years now and we made sure it’s here to stay.

We deconstructed a well-preserved unit and deconstructed it to its bare bones. We measured every single component from its 20 carefully matched valves and 14 vintage transformers, we paid meticulous attention to all unique non-linear relationships of the unit’s internals. Each of those components was recreated digitally allowing us to turn Tubechild670 into the most faithful and accurate modern recreation of a vintage classic. Just like the hardware original, our model lets you accumulate the 670 vintage mojo by running your signal through every single valve and transformer.
