Waves BSS DPR-402
Analog-Modeled Compressor Plugin
The Versatile Compressor that Ruled the '80s
In the later eras of hardware, this processing powerhouse was huge for live sound, broadcast, and studios - thanks to VCA compression, peak limiting, de-essing, side-chaining, and 11 frequency-dependent responses.
In the studio, it was known for its explosive compression sound on drums and drum machines.
The meticulous modeling truly captures the acclaimed sound, but this rejuvenated plugin also embellishes the original hardware with more features, added versatility, and extra ease of use.
