Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Fredenstein Artistic Leveler is a seriously cool optical compressor for folks wanting a vintage-inspired, musical compression sound. It's fantastic for smoothing vocals, taming guitars, or adding subtle glue to a mix—especially if you're into a more classic, analog vibe. The linking feature is a bonus for more complex setups.
