COMP670: LEGENDARY TUBE COMPRESSOR LIMITER
Comp670 is the Overloud recreation of a very rare legendary tube compressor.
It has a unique and distinctive tone thanks to large amount of transformers in the signal chain which gives it a very warm tone.
BEYOND THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE
Comp670 extends the features of the original hardware:
it combines the flexibility of the digital world to the sound character of the analog processing.
MODEL SELECTION
Select one of the three units sampled in London, Los Angeles and Milan studio, each one with its personality and unique tone.
SIDECHAIN FILTER
You can tweak a Low Cut filter on the Sidechain to reduce the compressor sensitivity to low frequencies.
This is particularly useful to control the amount of "pumping" effect.
PARALLEL COMPRESSION
Parallel compression is a powerful mixing technique which helps improve the overall impact of the track while leaving the transients intact.
It is achieved by summing the compressor output to the original track.
THREE UNITS IN ONE PLUGIN
From the '50s to nowadays, each original unit has been serviced multiple times:
it has its own history and component tolerance that gives it a unique tone and dynamic response.
That's why we sampled three different hardwares (found in London, Los Angeles and Milan studios),
and packed them into a unique plugin.
COMPRESSION CURVE TWEAKING
A trimmer inside the original unit allowed to change the compression characteristic from soft-knee to hard-knee by changing the biasing current of the feedback amplifier.
The Comp670 brings this control on the front panel allowing to tweak the compressor response to dynamic.
