This VST delivers a classic FET compressor and limiter experience through advanced emulation of vintage hardware circuits. Designed for precise peak detection, it offers both compressor and limiter modes to shape your audio dynamics effectively. Users can adjust the threshold and output level to fine-tune the compression, while the ceiling control manages the amount of compression and compensates output levels to maintain balance.

The plugin features a gain reduction VU meter that provides clear visual feedback on compression activity. It offers two main compression ratios: 2:1 for standard compression and 20:1 for limiting, with an off mode that routes the signal through the output opamp and transformer without applying compression. Additionally, a true bypass mode ensures the original signal remains unaffected when desired. Four selectable release times and an adjustable attack parameter allow for detailed control over the compressor's response.

Further enhancing its functionality, this compressor includes a de-essing feature to reduce sibilance and supports both mono and stereo operation with adjustable stereo linking. An internal simulation level can be tailored to match different sources, and the interface is fully compatible with retina displays, ensuring clear visuals on high-resolution screens. Its combination of flexible controls and authentic emulation makes it a valuable tool for dynamic processing in various mixing scenarios.
