Compressor offers the following choices:

• Standard. A flexible, modern compressor, with a clean, hi-fi sound.
• Tube. A model of one of the best-loved vintage tube-based opto-compressors. Excels at vocal smoothing and at making bass instruments sound larger-than-life.
• FET. A model of one of the most-used vintage FET-based compressors. Great for adding an aggressive edge and accentuating room sound for drums, guitars, and other highly-transient signals.

Equalizer offers the following choices:

• Standard. A flexible, full-featured modern EQ, with a clean, hi-fi sound.
• Passive. A model of one of the most sought-after vintage tube-based passive EQs. Deceptively simple controls and a rich, thick sound make it perfect for gentle tone-shaping or adding vintage character.
• Vintage. A model of what some call the 'final word' in vintage solid-state EQs. Combines an 'everything sounds better through it' quality with musically-chosen EQ frequencies for quick, reliable tonal magic.

The vintage compressors and EQ in Fat Channel XT are meticulously recreated from the original analog circuits using State Space Modeling technology. This same technology also powers the Ampire amp models, Channel Strip Collection plug-ins, and the Studio One Console Shaper, ensuring that the nuanced, variable sonic character of analog survives its transition to the digital realm.
