The tubes add warmth and rich harmonics, the compressor brings everything together and gives it punch. The tube stage is a real circuit simulation in 64-bit: two triode stages with their resistors and capacitors, calculated sample by sample at four times the sample rate. Turn up the drive and you hear — and see — the tubes work harder: they glow brighter the more they are driven. Two VU meters with real needle movement show the input, the output or the gain reduction. Pick one of the ready-made settings or build your own and save it under a name. One click switches it off, and the sound goes straight to your speakers again. * Tube preamp with drive, bias and fat * Tone controls: bass, mid, treble and presence * Compressor with threshold, ratio, attack, release, knee, make-up and mix * Live compressor curve and gain-reduction meter * Two VU meters for input, output or gain reduction * Built-in limiter protects your ears and speakers * Works together with jsBudbrainEqualizer and jsBudbrainsFxStudio * Mute button, choice of speakers or headphones * Small window that stays on top, starts at login if you like * Light and dark design Available in 44 languages.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install jsBudbrainCompressor To install jsBudbrainCompressor, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install jsbudbraincompressor ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
