MJUC jr.
variable-tube* compressor
MJUC jr. is the little brother of the colorful
MJUC
.
It's a variable-mu** design with lots of vibe, capable of smooth leveling but
also heavy pumping effects. With its two gain stages and interstage transformer simulation
it offers a very deep and lively soundstage.
The three-position timing switch not only
controls the attack and release times of the unit, but also the slew rate of the
transformers and the timing of the other parts of the circuitry, that are directly
influencing the generated harmonics (saturation).
MJUC jr. is a mix of Mk1 and Mk2 of its big brother
MJUC
. It's combining very natural, dense compression characteristics of the early days of this
type of compression with a more forward sounding approach and more harmonics creating of the
variable-mu comps of the early 1960s.
MJUC jr. is freeware!

* the correct technical term for this kind of compression is "Variable-Mu", but since this
term is a registered trademark by Manley Labs®, it's safer to avoid it :-)
** in
case the term variable-mu is used here, it just refers to the technical correct term for
this more than 70 year-old compressor topology. It is in no way intended to be confused with
the product of the same name
