Great compression with the sound of a legend!

NOTE: This product requires iLok authorization. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer at (800) 222-4700.

Softube's FET Compressor faithfully mimics one of the most famous American solid state compressors of all time. Unlike many "modeled" compressors that simply seek to recreate an algorighm that resembles the sound of the original, FET Compressor models the unit in its entirety &mdash from the input and output stage to the different transistors and everything in between. This plug-in has everything made original did, including the legendary All Buttons In mode. Classic compression in a plug-in — that's the FET Compressor.

Softube FET Compressor Native at a Glance:
  • The sound of analog circuitry
  • Accurate recreation of the original

The sound of analog circuitry
The heritage of analog compressors very much showcases the history of electronics in the previous century. It's the deficiencies of the different designs and components that give each unit its unique character, and what started out as technical limitations have now become sought-after sounds. Simply approximating the most apparent features is not enough to capture this uniqueness. It takes a model of great complexity and accuracy to make a digital replica sound like the original with all settings and inputs.

Accurate recreation of the original
When creating FET Compressor, Softube set out to make the most accurate emulation of the most famous solid state compressor. Instead of modeling individual features and putting them together digitally, Softube has modeled the unit in its entirety: input and output stages, gain reduction feedback loops, bias differences of different transistors, etc. The results speak for themself.

Softube FET Compressor Native Features:
  • Modeled analog compressor, input and output stages. Modeled everything.
  • Modeled "All buttons in" mode
  • Continuous ratio (even between 20:1 and ALL.)
  • Super fast attack time (just like the original)
  • Sweet input and output stage distortion.
  • Parallel compression.
  • Detector low and high cut filters
  • External side chain
  • Lookahead
  • Stereo with synchronized gain reduction
  • Very CPU friendly
  • Mac/PC
  • VST/AU/RTAS
  • iLok required
