The ct strip01 Black Friday deal is 60% off, bringing CalPochi's channel strip plugin to $27 until Nov 30, 2026.
CT-STRIP01 puts a Gate / Expander, a Compressor, a four-band EQ and a Tone / Saturation stage under one set of controls. It is a channel strip plugin, so a whole vocal or bass chain can live in a single instance.
The signal order is fixed, with one swap point. The PRE EQ switch trades the Comp and EQ positions (OFF means EQ into Comp), and changing the order never changes the latency.
The FET mode reacts in as little as 20 us and gives the sound a forward, assertive edge. TUBE works more gradually, with a smooth, gripping character, while VCA stays clean and suits bus duty.
Ratio, Attack and Release knob positions carry over when you switch circuits. Each circuit reads them in its own time-constant range, so a setting you dialed in on FET lands somewhere sensible on TUBE.
The four-band EQ has three characters. Keep every band set to the same values, and the one thing that shifts is how neighboring bands affect each other, along with how the signal's phase responds.
A display in the bottom right corner shows the processed signal's spectrum together with the EQ and filter curve, which matches exactly what is applied to the audio. Click it and the EQ expands across the whole panel, so you can drag the points on the curve directly.
The SAT control covers a full 0 to 100% range, and past roughly 60% the saturation bites much more aggressively. Use the CHAR control to balance ODD against EVEN harmonics, and at its minimum setting the stage leaves the signal untouched. They cover vocals, guitar, keys, synth, horns, bass and drums, and they also recall their input and output levels.
CT-STRIP01 ships with 28 factory presets sorted by source or purpose: singing voice, guitar, keyboards, bass, drum tracks, loop material, master bus duty, reverb sends, and sidechain from an outside signal.
User presets support save, overwrite and delete. Other workflow features:

CT-STRIP01 combines a Gate / Expander, a Compressor, a four-band EQ and a Tone / Saturation stage. It ships with 28 factory presets and ten C-TAKEBEATS presets, plus user presets with save, overwrite and delete.
Three: FET, TUBE and VCA. FET delivers attacks down to 20 us, TUBE is slow, smooth and grippy, and VCA is transparent and bus-friendly. Ratio, Attack and Release positions are kept when you switch circuits.
It swaps the Comp and EQ positions in the fixed signal order. With PRE EQ off, the order is EQ into Comp. It is the only swap point, and changing the order never changes the latency.
