Boz Digital +10dB Compressor - Electronic Delivery

The Boz Digital +10db Compressor is a first-of-its-kind channel strip plug in. This plug in is modelled after a very highly sought after compressor hardware unit.

Here’s the deal. It seems like everybody is modeling hardware these days, but Boz wanted to do something a little different. They didn’t want to model any hardware units that have been done a million times. They wanted to do something that had never been done before but has been an icon in the recording industry, and the only way to do that was to team up with producer/mixer David Bendeth. He just happened to have a few of these in his rack, so he sent us one to pour over.

Unless you stopped listening to music after “Johnny B Goode” then you have most definitely heard this hardware unit many many times. Think of Led Zeppelin drums.

In order to get this same compressor in hardware, not only would you have to pay over $2,000, but you’d have to deal with all the other drawbacks of using analog hardware. For a very small fraction of the price, you can get that same sound in the much more convenient software format. There are really no downsides (unless you live in Alaska an need a room heater).

A few extra features

Since they weren’t bound by the limits of the analog hardware, Boz took the liberty of adding a couple features that make this even more powerful than the original hardware. For one, they added a “Dry Passthrough” knob that makes parallel compression super easy, without having to set up extra buses.
