A Modernized FET Heritage for Today's Studios
Inspired by legendary FET compressors, this model captures the spirit of the classics while adopting modern design choices. Its built-in universal power supply and MIDAS transformers ensure reliability at all times, while the discrete Class A audio path provides controlled coloration, emblematic of sought-after outboard gear used in tracking and mixing.
Designed for Vocals, Percussion, Bass, and Mix Buses
Thanks to its extremely short attack time, it excels on punchy snares, overheads, or funk guitars. The release settings allow for both transparent vocal control and creative crushing on bass or drum buses. In a 2U rack format, it fits perfectly into hybrid or fully analog workflows.
Key Features Serving Your Sound
FET Speed and Musicality
Ratio presets of 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1 cover everything from gentle control to hard limiting. Combined with an attack time from 20 to 800 microseconds, they allow precise shaping of the envelope without losing the energy of the source signal.
Level Conversion Quality and Studio Robustness
Class A line-level amplifiers and MIDAS transformers provide generous dynamic range, coherent stereo imaging, and tight low end. The vintage-style VU meter offers instant readout of gain reduction, facilitating reproducible adjustments during sessions.
