FG-116 Blue Series FET Compressors

The FG-116 Blue Series brings the legendary tone of vintage ‘Rev A’ FET compressors to your DAW, with two authentic vintage circuit models and two modernized variations. Vintage Circuit 1 delivers the classic mid-forward character, adding warm presence and articulate transients to vocals, bass, drums, and guitars. Vintage Circuit 2 offers bigger lows and smoother mids and highs, perfect for drum room mics or vocals needing extra bigness. Modern Circuit 1 excels on close drum mics and bass, with a slow attack and fast release for punch and sustain. Modern Circuit 2 provides a breathable, punchy bottom end and smooth top, ideal for drum busses and even full mixes when using the Hi Pass filter and parallel mix. The Mix knob simplifies parallel compression, letting you dial in heavy compression and blend it back for enhanced punch without over-compression. Ideal for hobby producers seeking vintage FET flavor with modern flexibility.
