v7.x McDSP 6030 Ultimate Compressor

U670

Based on the acclaimed Fairchild 670, a new set of attack ballistics was created to accommodate modern production styles, the ‘warmth’ factor was tweaked, and the U670 was born.

Moo Tube

An all-tube design emulation, with some unique twists. Mid-range sensitivity, attack, and recovery time ranges, and output frequency response characteristics were all reworked by McDSP engineering.

iComp

Attack and release times are not adjustable but are instead automatically updated based on user-selected threshold and ratio control values. Good on songs headed to iTunes.

Opto-C/Opto-L

These Opto models use McDSP-designed key signal circuits for an improved response from the originals. The Opto models also use a different release characteristic, because we like to tweak!

British-C

The British-C model offers the standard compressor control set, but McDSP added internal smarts to prevent unwanted distortion, even at extreme compression settings – not unlike other high-end analog compressors from this part of the world.

Over EZ

The Over EZ module incorporates a smooth knee response with a flexible control configuration, making it useful in a variety of situations.

SST’76

The SST’76 is a fast reactive design that sounds great on drums and other percussive sources. The solid-state (SST) circuit model uses a McDSP-designed key circuit to boot.

FRG444

Referred to as ‘The Frog’, the FRG444 uses a moderately aggressive compression design for a more, well, aggressive kind of sound. The FRG444 will give you goosebumps, especially on big rock drum kits.

D357

The D357 is the most aggressive compressor in the 6030 collection. An LED-style gain reduction meter is used to display the rapid dynamic range control changes the D357 is capable of enacting on unsuspecting audio.
