The Smoke Comp is a plugin version of one of the most legendary Variable-Mu Tube Dynamic Processor from 1956. Actually, this plugin version also includes the features from the improved recent reissue built by a USA manufacturer that added six release settings and three different modes of operation: "Single" super smooth for bass tracks, "Double" ideal for most sources, and Triple, which allows you to limit fast transient waveforms, while maintaining great musicality. These new additions offer plenty of flexibility to find the perfect dynamic control for any application.
Plus, The Smoke Comp adds classic tone and massive sound immediately, thanks to the preamp emulation which perfectly embodies its tube character.
The results that can be achieved by compressing with this plugin are surprisingly varied. It allows you to undoubtedly enhance many audio sources by enriching and enhancing lead guitars and vocals. Treating percussive instruments and the sound of bass with this compressor will make these sources bigger and deeper.
IMPORTANT: The Smoke Compressor can be purchased individually, as a SMOKE COMP product or bundled as part of the SMOKE plugins suite which includes not only this amazing dynamics processor but also the SMOKE EQ (Stereo Tube Program Equalizer) and the SMOKE STRIP (Channelstrip) which blends all the great features of the included standalone plugins.
