For sale is my Tube-Tech SMC 2B Multiband Compressor, one of the most musical and transparent multiband compressors ever made. This unit has been used in my professionally maintained Chicago recording studio and has always lived in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment.

Unlike many multiband compressors that can sound clinical or overly processed, the SMC 2B adds the unmistakable warmth and depth of Tube-Tech’s all-tube design while providing incredibly smooth dynamic control. It’s equally at home on mix bus duties, mastering, vocals, drums, bass, or any source that needs subtle shaping without sacrificing musicality.

The compressor excels at:

• Glueing mixes while maintaining openness and punch.
• Controlling harsh upper mids without dulling the mix.
• Tightening low end while preserving weight.
• Adding tube richness and dimension without obvious coloration.
• Mastering applications where transparency is essential.

The unit is fully functional and in excellent cosmetic condition with only minor signs of normal studio use.

Included:

• Tube-Tech SMC 2B
• IEC power cable

I’m only selling because I’m moving my studio in a different direction and simplifying my mastering chain. This has been an incredible piece of equipment, and I won’t be disappointed if it stays.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like additional photos or a demo video. Professional packing and shipping available.
