Simple & transparent

This is the first compressor that I actually like a lot. I doesn't mess with your tone, just makes it bigger. Since it's optical compression the attack is not the fastest and the ratio is somewhere around 1 : 4, wich is great if you want something subtle. I really like it, it's always on.

EDIT: I tried the first white version with blue 3d logo and based the up comment on that, but I just a bought a more recent version (blue with round black and white logo) and it sounds (a lot) fuller to me. It also sounds faster, I don't get any blooming like I sometimes got on the first version. Also unity gain seems to be at a lower setting, around 9 o'clock.
