Compressor
Renaissance Compressor
Waves
Tame dynamics with surgical precision using dual compression modes—vintage optical warmth or modern RMS accuracy—while subtle harmonic control keeps your tone rich and present.
The dbx 160 is a faithful emulation of the legendary vintage VCA compressor/limiter hardware, capturing its quirky solid-state compression character and unique nonlinearities. It delivers grabby, low-end glue and colorful VCA compression textures on bass guitar, drum buses, synths, and more, enhanced with modern controls including Dry/Wet mix for parallel compression and a Sidechain Filter to reduce low-frequency pumping.
