V Doan V-176 Compressor

Based on a modern take on a classic tube limiting amplifier. The expanded control set makes the V-176 capable of incredibly fast times for a tube design, therefore, it's much more versatile than its predecessor. Developed to deliver rich, fast and punchy audio without losing the characteristic sound qualities, it is well‑suited to tracking, submixing and mixing duties across most instruments, vocal styles and musical genres.
