I have owned this unit for about 15 years, always used on the master bus. Recently had it serviced by tube tech factory, working like new. Priced to sell! Comes in original box.

The Tube-Tech SMC 2B is a stereo multiband compressor that splits audio into three frequency bands (low, mid, high), allowing independent compression on each with its own controls for threshold, ratio, attack, release, and gain. It is a sought-after tool known for its smooth, musical compression from its all-tube, optical design, and is widely used in mixing and mastering for its ability to add warmth, punch, and control dynamics across the frequency spectrum
