The Pump is a seriously impressive compressor – it’s got a unique flavor thanks to that saturation circuit and the Attack Modification really lets you sculpt the dynamics. It’s a great choice for engineers looking for a flexible, character-driven compressor for tracking or mixing drums, vocals, or anything needing a bit of punch and glue.
