Model details
Give a stereo mix or stem the smooth, rounded movement of real vari-mu tube compression. _RHEA uses high-voltage tubes for gain reduction and Carnhill interstage transformers, with selectable harmonic-distortion settings when you want more color. A wet/dry blend lets the original attack sit alongside the compressed signal.
The audio path stays fully analog; the digital connection controls settings, recall and automation. That makes it possible to return to a hardware sound for revisions without rebuilding every setting by hand. Use it for mix-bus cohesion, richer instrument groups or parallel drum compression.
