FET Compressor MK II

Softube’s FET Compressor MK II is a meticulous remake of the classic FET-based hardware compressor, renowned for its lightning-fast 20-microsecond attack and aggressive character. This plugin delivers the same punchy, in-your-face sound that has appeared on countless hit records, thanks to its FET gain reduction stage, Class A solid-state amplifiers, and input/output transformers. It’s ideal for vocals, drums, and any source needing heavy compression, adding tasty distortion and attitude when pushed. Beyond the authentic emulation, MK II adds modern features for DAW workflows: two independent drive types (FET and transformer), Dry/Wet mixing, a sidechain section, Stereo Link for linked or dual-mono operation, and High Frequency Make-up to compensate for lost brightness. The all-buttons-in British mode is also faithfully modeled. Whether you’re mixing or mastering, this compressor brings legendary analog vibe and extra control to your productions.
