About this block

DualComp is a dual‑stage bass compressor combining transparent low‑band dynamics control with a full‑band 76‑style topology.

The low‑band compressor targets sub and low‑mid energy to keep the bottom tight and consistent, while the full‑band stage delivers classic FET‑style snap and density.

Three Comp Styles—Tight, Punch, and Crush—apply pre‑tuned attack, release, and ratio settings, and a parallel Mix control lets you blend compression to taste.

Built for fast, repeatable results with minimal setup.
