Universal Audio Manley Voxbox Channel Strip (ESD); channel strip plugin; meticulous emulation of the modern classic introduced in 1997 to perfectly process vocal recordings but also different types of instruments; combines a vactrol optical compressor, a tube preamp, a passive Pultec-style EQ as well as a De-Esser / Limiter; adds a smooth hi-fi texture to incoming signals; unusual placement of the programm dependent opto-compressor before the tube preamplifier; Class A valve preamp with controls for source, input level and gain, high pass filter and polarity; EQ section using a passive design featuring two peak bands and a dip band with overlapping frequency selections and keeps the top end sweet, and the lows defined, yet natural sounding, even with extreme settings; natural sounding and easy to use de-esser / limiter not only to to process vocals but also shrill electric guitars, or overly bright overheads and more; Unison support to seamlessly integrate the preamp section with the Universal Audio Apollo audio interfaces; numerous artist presets
