01Overview

PSP FETpressor is built around the classic FET feedback compressor design. The developer describes it as providing accurate, almost instant compression with a noticeable amount of character. It suits vocals, guitars, bass and drums, and any situation where a 1970s-style FET compressor sound is wanted. Alongside the core compression, it adds a dry signal blend for parallel compression, so the processed and unprocessed signals can be mixed in one plugin.

Controls and Workflow in a FET Compressor Plugin

PSP FETpressor includes the controls you would expect from a FET compressor. An internal side-chain high-pass filter lets you limit low-frequency pumping, so the low end of a mix stays steady under compression. The compression ratio adjusts smoothly, and you can choose which channel the compressor processes. A link switch keeps stereo channels working together.

The dry signal blend control supports parallel compression. You can keep the original transient and tone and mix in the compressed signal underneath it.

Character at Low Ratios and Typical Sources

The plugin includes makeup amplifier and output transformer emulations. According to PSP Audioware, these add subtle character even when the ratio is set to 1:1, which means the coloration can be used without heavy gain reduction.

The developer lists vocals, guitars, bass and drums as target sources. Because the compressor is aimed at a classic FET sound, it fits projects where a vintage-style compressor tone is the goal.
