Kramer PIE Compressor

The Kramer PIE Compressor is a plugin recreation of the classic Pye compressor used at London’s Olympic Studios, built in collaboration with legendary producer Eddie Kramer. Using PWM technology, it delivers fast, transparent compression with low distortion, making it ideal for bus compression on drums, backing vocals, and masters. It also shines on lead vocals and bass when you need clean, unobtrusive control. The simple Threshold, Ratio, and Decay controls make it easy to dial in great results, while the fixed attack characteristics keep things musical without extra tweaking. You can even add analog noise and hum for authentic vintage behavior. Pair it with the Kramer HLS to recreate the full Olympic Studios signal chain. It suits hobby producers and engineers chasing classic rock-era glue and character on individual tracks or full mixes.
