Tube Lab

Tube Lab by Fuse Audio Labs is a vintage-style channel strip plugin that combines a multi-tube preamp, Baxandall EQ, and optical compressor into one flexible tool. Choose from classic tube types like 12AT7, 12AU7, 12AX7, 6DJ8, and 12DW7 to dial in anything from subtle warmth to aggressive grit. The three-band Baxandall EQ offers broad, musical tone shaping, while the opto compressor provides classic and modern modes with optional automatic gain control. You can reorder the EQ and compressor modules to suit your workflow. Whether you’re adding weight and density to vocals, bass, guitars, drums, or full stems, Tube Lab delivers authentic tube character with an intuitive, hands-on experience. It’s ideal for hobby producers seeking rich, analog-inspired coloration in their mixes.
