The 4040 Retro Limiter combines a look-ahead brick wall limiter function with several subjective treatments to make the limiting action subtle, and yet vintage.

All Retro plug-ins use a McDSP-designed output stage that puts a unique transformer-like touch on the audio signal. Retro plug-ins are a line of ‘classics’ that can live up to their own name without emulating something else.
