WESAUDIO / _RHEA

This is a Vari-Mu style, API 500 series compatible stereo tube compressor with perfect digital recall as a plug-in in your DAW via USB.

_RHEA is a Vari-Mu style stereo tube compressor. It reproduces the Vari-Mu style with a "100% vacuum tube analog circuit" and produces natural, powerful compression. It is compatible with API500 modules, and the analog circuitry can be fully digitally controlled via the unit's USB or _TITAN frame. _RHEA can be easily automated and digitally recalled from a plug-in on a DAW. It is equipped with a THD switch that adds harmonic distortion, a MIX knob that allows parallel compression, and a three-stage sidechain filter. The attack time and release time can each be set to six stages, and the INPUT, THRESHOLD, and OUTPUT can be set independently, allowing for flexible and precise sound creation. ■Main Features ・100% analog device (+24dB headroom) ・Stereo tube "vari-mu" style compressor ・High voltage tube operation ・CARNHILL input transformer ・Flexible input and output level control ・MIX knob for parallel compression ・THD - Harmonic Distortion (2 modes) ・Sidechain filter - 60, 90, 150 Hz ・API500 series and ng500 (_TITAN) compatible module ・Total recall and DAW compatible plug-in control ・Supports automation from DAW ・Full digital control of fully isolated analog circuitry ・Digital recall - via front panel USB port or _TITAN chassis ・Write automation to DAW via 4 touch sensitive encoders (Threshold, Mix, Make Up) ・True bypass ・Accurate analog GR meter and plug-in implementation ・Free software and firmware upgrades
