Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Fredenstein Artistic Comp Plus is a surprisingly versatile compressor that leans towards a vintage, slightly aggressive character. The discrete op-amp and output transformer really give it some grit, making it ideal for drums, guitars, or anything needing a bit of glue and punch. It's a great option for engineers seeking a character compressor without a premium price tag.
