Warm Audio BUS-COMP - 2 channel VCA Bus Compressor

The Warm Audio Bus-Comp is a recreation of the famous G-Bus compressor. The Warm Audio Bus-Comp also features the ability to insert USA made CineMag transformers into the signal path. Driven by fully discrete operational amplifiers, at a push of a button you can add increased depth, tone and vibe.

The Warm Audio BUS-COMP is an all-analog, 2 channel, stereo VCA bus compressor based on classic circuitry that has provided silky smooth tone for decades.  Stereo VCA bus compressors are masterful at controlling dynamics on many sources, but they have become widely known for their magic touch on stereo mixes.  

The BUS-COMP will perform well on stereo mixes, drum mixes, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and an array of other sources.  The BUS-COMP is primarily designed for stereo use, but it can be used just as successfully on individual mono sources. VCA bus compressors of this type have become widely loved for their ability to control dynamics effortlessly but also for the added tone and depth they provide to the audio signal that passes through them, even when no compression is applied.
