Features

Tweakable Compression & Saturation
Oak provides the 2 essential styles of compression and saturation for quick tone shaping.

Compression

• VCA: Clean, tight, modern control with a fixed low but tasteful ratio
• FET: Snappy, colourful, and bold. Full of character and livens up any source it's used on

Saturation

• Xfmr: Thick, vintage transformer-style drive that transports you directly to Shelford
• Tape: Warm, and smooth with a touch of top end control for vibey and colourful results

Precision Tone Shaping

• Punch shapes transients before compression with a well-tuned transient designer.
• Air adds a beautifully present and clear top end shelf based on a modern classic preamp's 28k button.
• Body controls a wide low end shelf perfect for fattening drums or balancing the low end on a vocal.
• Edge adds a subtle high end boost to keep your sound clean and articulate.

Vintage/Modern Circuit Switching
Switch between vintage and modern circuit configurations for a variety of sonic character.

• Vintage: Enables a gooey FET-like transformer to add that extra magical character. Think of it somewhere between Rev A and D.
• Modern: Cleans up the compressor to a near digital like state but with just enough knock to still maintain it's Swiss army knife status.

Intuitive Metering
The vintage VU meter gives you real-time feedback on your signal's dynamic reduction. Don't mix with your eyes... but a sanity check has never looked this good.
