Original compressor plug-in designed by CDSoundMaster with vintage sound

• classic "blackface" solid state compressor with four modes  with around 800 microsecond attack speed and an 1100 microsecond release.
• The first mode is very similar to a 4:1 compression ratio with a fast pop at the start of the waveform response followed by a fast crunchy, leveling response that most resembles the same details in the original hardware.
• The other 3 modes provide a smoother transition from initial response to how it handles the transition from any fast transient into subsequent program material, meaning that it can push initial transient hard into lower program dynamics, or it can resolve deeper threshold response with more musical response to changes in transients.
• The Input allows you to control the incoming digital signal and processes this sound with an entire analog signal chain that is realistic in the same traits as real classic analog hardware. Increasing and decreasing the input signal will control how much harmonic distortion is generated from the device. This will also affect how the compression circuitry recognizes the dynamic volume of the input signal, so the great the volume, the more affect the threshold circuit will have on the material played.
• The Output controls the digital output level of the FAST FET Compressor. It does not change any of the analog response of the signal chain ahead of the output signal, so the Output can be used to make any volume/gain adjustments needed once the proper processing takes place.
• The “Drive” control allows you to have independent control of the harmonic distortion that is intentionally generated by the FAST FET Compressor. Harmonics are typically generated in conjunction with the Input control, but if you wish to reduce or increase harmonics without changing the input volume, you can use the Drive function to do so. This will not change the amount of compression or volume, but only affect the increase or decrease in harmonics. 
• The Threshold knob is used to control all compression characteristics.
• The Ratio, or the amount of compression, is directly connected to the depth of the threshold in the FAST FET Compressor.
