SSL Native X-Comp is a sophisticated stereo compressor built on SSL's decades of hardware expertise. Rather than emulating a single unit, X-Comp gives you the characteristics of multiple compressor types — OPTO, FET, and Vari-mu — in a single plugin. Its unique Bleed frequency controls let you target compression at specific frequency ranges, while the wide-ranging knee control goes from smooth to brick-wall. From invisible mastering-style processing to aggressive character compression, X-Comp covers the full spectrum.
