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.

Adjusts the amount of compression.
Switch between classic snappy VCA style compression or gritty, in your face FET style limiting
Variable attack time tuned for everything from a mix bus to a slamming parallel drum compressor.
Adjusts the amount of saturation. Select transformer or tape character with the XFMR/TAPE toggle.
Feel the weight of beefy transformer style saturation, or switch to a softer, more sweet tape style drive
A well tuned pre-compression transient attack circuit. Perfect for making drum busses pop or seating a poking vocal in place.
A smooth and wide low end shelf perfect for fattening drums or balancing the low end on a vocal
A legendary top end shelf that can’t sound bad. Use it to sweeten a whole mix or soften slamming drum rooms.
Think of it as an era switch. Keep your sound clean and modern or gooey and vintage.
Variable sidechain processor from 20 Hz to 320 Hz.
Input volume to shape your level into the compressor
Output volume control, post all processing
Blends the dry and processed signal.
Filters out low-end before clipping to keep things tight and focused.
Tames high frequencies before saturation to avoid harshness.
Enables 4x oversampling to reduce aliasing at higher drive settings.
Swaps the Punch control for a variable release. In this mode, the VCA's ratio also changes to 4:1, which is nice for mix bus work.
Load a preset or save your own settings for quick recall.
