The whole audio circuit is solved in real time — valve stages, transformers, timing networks and power supply interaction — rather than sampled or approximated, which is what preserves the tone and the way the unit moves under level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is fixed-threshold and variable-gain, with four ratios (2:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 12:1) whose knee position and slope change with each setting. Attack and release come from resistor-capacitor networks coupled to the gain stage, so timing is program-dependent rather than set in milliseconds, and the Fixed\/Auto switch changes how release adapts. Sidechain polarity, stage coupling and calibration each change the character in a way that matters on drums, bass and vocals. A sidechain high-pass filter, dry\/wet mix and stereo sidechain link are added for modern workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-time circuit model of the full 176 valve signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour ratios: 2:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 12:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram-dependent attack and release, Fixed and Auto modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain polarity and stage coupling switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibration control for bias, harmonics and threshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain high-pass filter, mix and stereo sidechain link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a digital download with a perpetual licence.
