The ART TCS Twin Tube Compressor provides 2 channels of both optical and VCA compression. Optical gives you a smooth, transparent effect while VCA is good for hard limiting. Both modes can be stacked for serious over-the-top compression. The V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) knob takes the hassle out of compression with a variety of settings.
