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 LabsĀ®, 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
