Tegeler Vari Tube Compressor VTC Green

When i got the Tegeler VTC out of the Treasure Box i felt its weight and saw the great German craftmanship right away! Also smelled some nice perfume coming out of the treasure box which put a smile on my face :)
I used it for mastering a track i had been working on for many hours and i thought it sounded perfect already and didn’t need any dynamic control nor color.
But when i ran the track throuth the Tegeler VTC and had around 2 to 3 db of compression, i felt something very magical! Hit the bypass and i realised i did not want to listen to it ever again without the VTC! It instantly became my favorite piece of gear and i have alot of outboard gear!
It made the elements in the mix sit together and sound cohesive and smooth. Also some three dimensional feeling and depth increased with the VTC.
To be honest i was skeptical only because the price seemed too good to be true. The sound quality is phenomenal for the price you pay!
I payed mastering engineers before to master my music and now thanks to Tegeler VTC with the SPL PQ and an SSL style bus compressor i finally got the sound im looking for in my own studio!
The Tegeler VTC is a keeper and it will always have its place in my rack!
I recommend this product to anyone who is serious about their productions and sound quality!
Thanks Tegeler!!

I received the VTC from thomann 3 weeks ago after a long wait and have to say that I really love it! Its my first tegeler and though had heard some examples there’s no comparison to what I felt tweeking it my self here in the studio..tried on everything really not the way in yet but after my neve portico ii master bus and neve 8803 eq and it adds this sweet and fullfills the sound and stereo field so nicely really, love the glue and the warm and that is making the eq before more rounded in hi freqs and deeper in the lows - I let it 20-30 mins to warm up first and after that just shines so my congratulations to tegeler! I also ordered the EQP-1 from them. The ‘color switch’ was a v nice new touch to it as well! I will try also the way in with api preamps look forward to it..

Once again Thomann delivery was excellent the moment they got it in they sent it over.

j'utilise principalement ce compresseur en mastering pour avoir ce son rond et chaud et en relief. Par contre une fois le son passé a l'intérieur les basses fréquences ressortent beaucoup et mange pas mal les aigues, tout ça malgré sa partie filtre qui est la pour corriger ce problème, donc l'idéal est d'avoir un eq analogique a placer avant ou après le Vari tube.
Pour pouvoir corriger cela, j'utilise la partie eq de mon SSL Fusion qui lui est placé entre le Tegeler Vari tube et mon Dangerous Bax Eq et le son est juste subblime. Donc je recommande vraiment ce compresseur a condition d'avoir d'autres machines analogiques et de très bon plug pour venir le complèter. Sinon il peut aussi être utilisé sur des instruments individuel et sa réchauffe vraiment pas mal.

Je possède plusieurs compresseurs que ça soit Dbx 160 /162 le VT7 nde Fearn etc, mais cette machine a une dynamique hors paire sans pompage."Génial"
En allumant l'appareil la dynamique était auditive , malgré que les aiguilles des vu-mètres non pas bougés ,à telle point que j'ai téléphoné à Musique Thomann pensant que les vu-mètres ne fonctionnait pas, eh non ce n'était pas le cas..
L'appareil est une bombe quand les aiguilles commencent à bouger ça fait presque du courant d'air.

Bravo à L'équipe Tegeler et merci à Musique Thomann.

A bientôt
