The design is based on the typical vari-mu solution. In addition to the classic INPUT, THRESHOLD, and OUTPUT controls, it introduces a switchable high-pass filter in the sidechain, parallel compression (MIX knob), independent ATTACK and RELEASE switches, and user-replaceable tubes accessible from the rear of the unit.\u003cbr\u003eThe IGS TUBECORE 3U was designed as a studio mastering compressor. It is built using a 3U design, which improves front panel clarity and simplifies the replacement of the tubes located at the rear. The compressor allows working in both dual mono and mid\/side (M\/S) modes. The Mode switch has two bypass positions: both do the same thing, but the second was added for comfort and quick A\/B comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the IGS TUBECORE 3U is based on the possibility of replacing the tubes.
