Attention PowerCore users: TC Electronic is offering a new PowerCore plugin bundle ($449 MSRP) comprised of the Tube-Tech CL 1B compressor / limiter plugin and the Tap Factory multitap delay / reverb hybrid plugin.

Developed in collaboration with Tube-Tech, the CL 1B plugin is a digital emulation of the classic Tube-Tech CL 1B compressor / limiter dynamics processor. This powerful little plugin was created with advanced component emulation technology, and brings the analog sound of the CL 1B to the PowerCore platform.

Tap Factory, on the other hand, is a hybridized delay / reverb based on the System 6000 Reflector algorithm. With a user-friendly interface and many parameter settings, Tap Factory lets you customize up to 24 taps and create genre-crossing sounds. Together, these vintage dynamics control and multitap delay / reverb plugins add the fundamentals of music production to your home studio setup, according to TC Electronic.

Current owners of Tube-Tech CL 1B can upgrade to bundle at no cost, and essentially get Tap Factory for free. To receive your free upgrade, email the "My Account ID" to plugincampaign@tcelectronic.com and wait up to three business days for your access code. If you own only Tap Factory, however, you can not upgrade for free. Sorry folks. For more details, visit the TC Electronic Web site.
