Waves V-Comp
Analog-Modeled Compressor Plugin
The Unique Analog Sound of Neve-Style Diode-Bridge Compression
Introduced in 1969, the 2254 compressor had an unmistakably fat, textured sound.
No opto, no FET, no VCA: The V-Comp models the 2254's diode-bridge gain technology and triple-transformer design, at the component level, to deliver the richest bus compressor/limiter sound used in the 60s and 70s.
In addition to classic compression, even with dynamics turned off, V-Comp adds the inimitable personality of analog processing - and coats your digital audio with a veneer of yesterday's mojo.
