Inspired by Tobias Lindell's extensive experience mixing and producing hit records, the Lindell 7X-500 plugin brings the acclaimed hardware compressor/limiter into the digital realm. It faithfully captures the essence of the original FET design, known for delivering the classic '76-style sound' that can range from smooth compression to aggressive, rock-influenced dynamics. This plugin preserves the character and feel of the hardware while adding enhancements tailored for modern production workflows.

The Lindell 7X-500 plugin features innovative tools such as a High Pass sidechain filter and a Mix control that enables blending between dry and processed signals for effective parallel compression. Users can select from multiple ratio settings including 4:1, 12:1, and an intense 100:1, offering a broad palette of dynamic control. The plugin expands on the hardware’s capabilities by introducing stereo operation and continuously variable attack and release parameters, providing more precise control over the compression envelope.

Designed to meet the demands of producers and engineers, this plugin also includes transformer-balanced output, adjustable stereo linking, and an option to add analog warmth through nonlinearities. The clear 20-segment LED gain reduction meter helps visualize compression levels for better mix decisions. The Lindell 7X-500 plugin is a powerful tool that combines vintage character with modern flexibility, suitable for a wide range of music production styles.
