Frequently Asked Questions

The 2K24 Custom boasts a unique Chromalux finish and subtle internal component upgrades for improved consistency and a slightly refined compression character.
It's incredibly versatile; you can set it to be almost transparent or deliver a noticeable, classic compression effect depending on your Threshold and Gain settings.
Optical compressors, like this Keeley, generally play well with fuzz, but experiment with the Threshold to avoid unwanted interaction and maintain a balanced tone.
