FET Compressor Mk II

About

FET Compressor Mk II is a dynamics plugin by Softube. It is a remodel of an analog FET compressor, modeled on hardware with a 20-microsecond attack time. It adds new ratios, two drives, parallel compression and detector filtering to the original design. Dry/Wet and a Sidechain section are included, along with Stereo Link and Unlinked Dual Mono modes.

What it sounds like

Softube says it keeps the original hardware's sound and character. Softube describes it as having the lightning-quick, in-your-face character of the hardware.
