Bettermaker Bus Compressor

Bettermaker Bus Compressor – advanced analog stereo VCA compressor with digital control and recall. Provides 100% analog signal path with digital control via front panel and/or DAW with dedicated plugin. Offers high analog quality and patented recall speed comparable to a native plugin. Ideal for mixing and mastering.

Bus Compressor uses PEAK/RMS detection, Dry/Wet MIX for parallel compression, sidechain with HPF, hardware insert and preview. Adjustable THD for harmonically rich sound. On-board PEAK/RMS levels measurement, total recall and A/B comparison from DAW. LED matrix display and six encoders with push-button action for easy control. USB connectivity with MAC/PC. Recall last unit state after reboot, instant reset of all parameters.

As hybrid classic, adds punch and glue without compromise.
