X-ValveComp is a fully-featured mono or stereo channel compressor combining a full set of classic channel compressor controls with an added valve emulation stage. The valve emulation sits after the compressor in the signal path and adds a variable degree of primarily 2nd order harmonic saturation and distortion that thickens and colours the sound. Features Peak or RMS modes with standard controls including Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release and Hold, plus sidechain with highpass and lowpass filters, makeup gain control, and a dedicated wet/dry mix control for parallel compression.
