Four circuits, one rack.

VCA

Clean, fast, symmetrical — the bus compressor sound. Punchy drums, tight mixes, transparent glue.

FET

Field-effect fast attack down to fractions of a millisecond, with musical bite. Drums, bass, rap vocals, parallel crush.

Optical

Photocell element with program-dependent two-stage release. Smooth on vocals, acoustic guitar, and bass.

Tube

Variable-mu behaviour: ratio deepens with drive, plus gentle harmonic warmth. Lead vocals, mix bus, mastering.

Sidechain — visualized

A luminous ducking ceiling reacts in real time to threshold, ratio, knee, attack and release — dial in the pump visually before tuning by ear.

Full channel-strip dynamics

Vintage-style knobs, ±24 dB input/output, Auto Gain, one-knob Mix for parallel compression, and a 0 dB safety limiter.

30+ studio presets

Mastering glue, drum smash, FET vocals, tube thickening, 808 control, EDM sidechain pump — built on decades of documented practice.
