The Black Clamp
This is not a transparent compressor.
The Black Clamp is a dual-channel FET compressor built on the classic JFET gain-reduction topology - the same circuit character behind some of the most recognizable compression sounds in recorded music. It grabs transients, adds harmonic color from the transistor circuit, and glues material without sounding processed. Drums, bass, vocals, and bus use are all primary targets. Two fully independent channel strips. Full per-channel control over every parameter. Link them for stereo, run them independently for dual mono, or flip to M/S mode for bus and mastering work.About this plugin
