Blitzer

The SSL Blitzer plug-in is an analogue hardware-inspired character compressor – capable of everything from soft, saturating compression to explosive brick-wall limiting. In addition to adjustable transient shaping and vintage-style harmonic drive for adding colour to your tracks, Blitzer offers 10 unique compression curves across 10 ratios, each with a unique shape and tone.

With the distinct response of tube, VCA and vintage opto compressors all from a single easy-to-use interface, you're never more than a click away from what you need. Combined with MIX control for parallel compression, AUTO GAIN to help maintain your levels, and SSL's contextual help system, Blitzer is a versatile compressor plug-in with startling variation.
