MJUC is the most effortful plugin to date. It took almost two years of extensive, dare I say "excessive", research and development.
To create MJUC I've researched and analyzed each and every variable-mu* implementation I could get my hands on to get the best of tube compression into a single processor. In order to do the diversity of this compression topology justice, three different models have been built.
These are kind of a time travel though the history of tube compression to capture the essence of each generation.
Each model has its own dedicated signal path and dedicated control set. If desired you can tweak the overall tone and saturation of each model with the unique TIMBRE and the DRIVE control. DRIVE controls the load of the input and output transformers as the saturation of the tube gain stages, if applicable. The TIMBRE extends MJUC's use as a tone shaping device.
Is MJUC no longer considered top tier variable mu?

...we do a 176 next? The UA version is frankly not great and the only other alternative is the (admittedly fantastic) MJUC, and the Analog Obsession. As incredibly great as the MJUC is, its more "inspired by" the 176, as well as a few others - a de facto RETRO 176 plugin would just be...
