Does not include power supply

The Germanium series continues with the GERMANIUM Compressor. The Germ Comp starts with the same all class A amp found in the Germ Pre and Tone Control and is transformer balanced in and out. The compression circuit uses an FET gain reduction element but with the tricks and flexibility of all the Germ units. Some of the most notable additions include a Wet/Dry mix (for “submixing” tracks within the comp), Comp Curve (which selects the knee using various diode combinations), Clean/Dirty comp and Sidechain filter. Many of the Germ Comp parameters have been purposely set by studio use and listening not by over analyzing them with test gear. The result is a musical powerhouse ready for tracking, mixing, and mastering.

All Germanium units require and function on the PSU-1, Chandler Limited power supply. The PSU-1 has an internal switch for setting voltage to 120V or 220V (115V/230V).

What's in the Box?

  • Chandler Limited Germanium Compressor
  • A meticulous model of the Chandler Limited® Germanium Compressor that performs just like the hardware.
  • Far from just a compressor, it’s a mojo, colour and character machine that almost feels like a musical instrument.
  • Capable of replacing many other plug-ins used in a chain, like distortion, EQ/filter, compression, and transient designer.
  • Perfect for tone shaping, sound tweaking and sound designing when tracking, producing, mixing and, in some cases, even mastering.
  • Clean Comp / Dirty Comp settings with the ability to control the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
  • Comp Curve with its unique combination of diodes.
  • Attack and Release work in a musical and inspiring way, making an average drum kit go from dull and flat sounding to tight and crisp or to fat with long decay.
  • Gain / Germanium Drive and Feedback give you the ability to feedback signal to the input and control the gain the distortion and tone-shaping capabilities.
  • Unique tones not found in any other compressor – not only in plug-in format, but in general.
  • Software-exclusive features: External Sidechain / External sidechain Gain / Mid/Side Processing / In/Out: Left/Mid | Right/Side / Output Gain.
  • Console 1-ready: can be used within the Console 1 mixing ecosystem.
