ME-TUEY is an optical compressor captured from a specific 2014 UA Teletronix LA-2A reissue (UA’s faithful rebuild of the 1960s Lawrence Silver-era circuit), tube-rolled to NOS RCA on V1 / V2 / V3 by ME PLUGINS. Not emulated, not convolution — rebuilt as DSP from measurements off the unit. Coming soon. $39 USD sale, $69 regular. Planned formats: VST3 · AU · CLAP · Standalone on macOS Universal. Windows is roadmap-tracked, not in v1.0.
ME PLUGINS is a one-engineer studio in Tel Aviv building measurement-anchored audio plugins. The first product, ME-TUEY, is coming soon — an optical compressor captured from a specific 2014 UA Teletronix LA-2A reissue (UA’s faithful rebuild of the 1960s Lawrence Silver-era circuit), tube-rolled to NOS RCA Black-Plate 12AX7 + 12BH7 on the audio + sidechain stages. Not emulated. Not convolution. Captured at 96 kHz against a level-matched dry, with attack 7.1–10.4 ms (fast) / 28–34 ms (mid), R² 0.85–0.97 across the PR-curve. The full null-test pack will ship with the release. No decompiled references; no AI-fitted curves; no claims of “warmth” or “magic” in the marketing — everything cited or it doesn’t ship. ME PLUGINS is an independent product. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Universal Audio.
ME PLUGINS is an independent audio-plugin studio, founded in 2026 by Guy Mentesh. The company is built on a single operating principle: every claim about a plugin’s behaviour must trace to a measurement of physical hardware the company owns. The first product, ME-TUEY, is an optical compressor captured from a specific 2014 UA Teletronix LA-2A reissue (UA’s faithful rebuild of the 1960s Lawrence Silver-era circuit), bought new and tube-rolled by ME PLUGINS to NOS RCA Black-Plate 12AX7 (V1 + V3) and NOS RCA 12BH7 Grey-Plate (V2). Stock T4B optocell, stock output transformer, stock UTC A-11 input transformer. Capture methodology is documented and will ship with the release. The marketing voice is deliberately measurement-anchored — banned words include “warmth”, “buttery”, “magic”, “mojo”, and “analog character”; every adjective must reduce to a number or a specific physical artefact. ME-TUEY is the keystone of an opto-leveler-plus-rack roadmap; sibling plugins (FET limiter, graphic EQ) follow on a quarterly cadence. This product is not affiliated with or endorsed by Universal Audio, Inc. or any other manufacturer.
