Full dynamic control with the Steam Bass Flex Compressor!
The Thorn Soundlabs Steam Bass Flex Bass Compressor is a powerful fully analog bass compressor that delivers both subtle dynamic shaping and clearly audible compression. With a comprehensive set of controls including Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Detail, and Gain, the compression behavior can be precisely tailored to your playing style. The Auto or Manual switch adds further flexibility by allowing the attack and release times to be set automatically or adjusted by hand. As a result, the Steam Bass is equally at home in transparent studio applications and in delivering strong, punchy live sounds.
