GTO is a vintage-style character compressor crafted to deliver powerful, fast, and aggressive compression reminiscent of classic analog gear. Its design emphasizes ease of use and precise control, making it suitable for a wide range of dynamic processing tasks. The compressor offers a unique vintage tonal coloration created through a blend of harmonics, saturation, and subtle noise, adding warmth and character to your audio signals.

This peak compressor excels with lightning-fast attack and release times, adjustable threshold, ratio, and output boost options that allow it to handle everything from gentle dynamic control to intense compression effects. With the inclusion of an external sidechain and a wet/dry mix control, GTO enables parallel compression techniques without phase issues. Its hard limiter enhances output control, making it ideal for pumping basslines and strong rhythmic elements.

Comprehensive metering displays input, output, and gain reduction levels in real time, including peak values for accurate monitoring. Additional features include stereo input detection with linked or unlinked modes, distortion reduction for very short release times, non-linear knobs for fine adjustments, and multiple attack/release curve options. GTO also provides presets for various configurations, catering to different compression needs while maintaining its distinctive vintage character.
