COMPADRE is the result of more than one year of research, development, and countless hours of listening tests. The final product is a quality compressor that not only delivers a highly optimized sonic behavior, but also drips with its own character. COMPADRE is designed specifically for use on beats, drum loops, and other percussive material, and it does this with attitude and flexibility. Use it for subtle enhancements or heavy duty compression.

While COMPADRE has been designed with drums in mind, its range of flexibility allows it to deliver good performances on most types of tracks and mixes as well.
