FG-2A

The FG-2A perfectly reproduces one of the most legendary opto compressors in the history of recording, capturing its classic warmth, saturation, and signature smoothness.

Peak Reduction

Allows to set the compression amount.

Gain

Controls the amount of make-up gain applied after compression.

Mix

Blends between dry and wet signals.

Limit/Compress

Increases the ratio of the compressor, changing the character to make it slightly more aggressive.

High Frequency Filter

Internal side-chain filter that increases the sensitivity to high frequencies when turned to the left.

Stereo Link

When linked, the Left and the Right channels receive the same Gain Reduction, which is the average of the two signals. This can be used to control the stereo image of the output.

External Side-Chain

The FG-2A is a compressor with a variable threshold, set by the Peak Reduction knob. When using the External Side-Chain, the Side-Chain Gain slider will also affect the compression threshold; turning up the gain will have a similar effect to rotating the Peak Reduction knob clockwise..
