Gainlab Audio Dictator is a vacuum tube compressor with synchronous operation of 2 channels.

Dictator, using vacuum tubes, is modeled after classic vari-mu compressors such as the legendary Fairchild 670 and Gates STA-Level. Its unique "mu-follower" circuit allows two channels to work synchronously across the entire compression curve range to achieve superior compression. The timing parameters and saturation characteristics are very close to classic tube compressors.

Dictator is a true vari-mu compressor, utilizing a pair of high-quality pentodes that were mass-produced during the Warsaw Pact era in Hungary, East Germany, and Poland. The surrounding tube amplifier circuits employ state-of-the-art technical solutions, ensuring precise channel synchronization and enabling extreme settings. It can function as a pulsating master bus compressor or create crunchy saturation with new transient characteristics. Or operate as a simple saturator with minimal compression.
