COMP TUBE-STA 

The Comp TUBE-STA,  is a Valve driven compressor with simple controls and was a mainstay in studios throughout the golden age of compressors. Based on the tube-powered Gates® STA-Level broadcast compressor, it became legendary to bring a weak bottom end and vocals life.  

 

 

 

COMP FET 76 

The Comp FET 76 is an emulation of the original Universal Audio 1176, designed by Bill Putnam and it was a fantastic all-rounder and featured in nearly all major recording studios. The combination of the Field Effect Transistor, the “Class A” amplifier, and its unique design imparts a subtle, but very desirable tonal change even at low compression levels. 

 

 

 

COMP VCA-65 

Anyone looking for tight, punchy percussive sounds was drawn to the DBX 165A, which was known for its ‘over-easy’ compressor, auto attack-decay detection and it’s peak-stop limiter making it the perfect drum and percussion compressor.
