+10db Compressor V2 is a compressor effects plugin from Boz Digital Labs, modeled after a hardware compressor unit. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
+10db Compressor V2 is a software compressor built to reproduce the sound of a hardware unit that many recording engineers have used for years. Boz Digital Labs developed the model with producer and mixer David Bendeth, who had the original hardware in his rack. The developer describes it as the first channel strip plugin of its kind. Beyond the modeled sound, the plugin adds a Dry Passthrough control that simplifies parallel compression.
Boz Digital Labs chose to model a compressor rather than a hardware unit that has already been emulated many times. The developer worked with David Bendeth, who supplied a hardware unit from his rack for study.
The plugin is aimed at producers who want the character of an expensive analog compressor without buying and maintaining the hardware. Resonance-style colour and behaviour are what the developer says the model was built to capture.
The Dry Passthrough knob is the main addition beyond the original hardware. It lets you blend the unprocessed signal back in, which makes parallel compression possible without setting up extra buses or send routing.
Because the design is not limited by analog hardware, the developer added this control to make the plugin more flexible than the unit it models.
