The 1970 Classic Console Compressor is a meticulously crafted digital emulation of the iconic British mixing console’s buss compressor and limiter. As part of a comprehensive bundle, it offers two versions that cater to different mixing needs: a Compressor/Limiter/Side Chain version and a Compressor-only version. This plugin captures the essence of vintage analog warmth through its transformer input stage and diode bridge gain reduction amplifier, delivering smooth and rich compression that enhances the character of your audio tracks.

Designed to provide precise control, the compressor and limiter functions operate independently, each with customizable Attack, Release, and Threshold settings. The internal side chain includes adjustable high and low pass filters that allow you to target specific frequency ranges, refining how the compressor responds to the input signal. Additionally, a Listen Key feature enables monitoring of the signal sent to the gain reduction circuit, giving producers detailed insight into the compression process and making it easier to achieve the desired effect.

Beyond its authentic vintage sound, the 1970 Classic Console Compressor incorporates modern features such as variable compression ratios and flexible attack and release times, accommodating a wide range of mixing styles. The interface provides intuitive controls for input level, gain makeup, and detailed metering, including selectable gain reduction meters for compressor, limiter, or both. This combination of classic tonal character and advanced functionality makes it a powerful tool for shaping dynamics with precision and musicality.
