Fall Sale 2024 - COMP.TWO 40 % OFF Get Rockruepel COMP.TWO for 77 USD
Vari-MU = Vari-Glue
The COMP.TWO plugin is a faithful emulation of the German-built hardware compressor by Rockruepel (Rock-bully in English). It is an all-tube vari-mu design, meaning there are no transistor stages in the circuit. Ideal for adding glue to your mix.

Input gain applied before compression on channel 1.
2
Output
Output gain applied after compression and before Mix (dry/wet) on channel 1.
3
Mix
Mix between dry and wet parts of the signal on channel 1.
4
Threshold
Threshold value setting at which volume signal starts to be reduced on channel 1.
5
Attack
Controls if the compression happens fast or slowly when the signal hits above the threshold on channel 1.
6
Release
Controls if the compression stops fast or slowly when the signal hits under the threshold on channel 1.

The Rockruepel History

The Rockruepel History

Oliver Gregor, soldering iron in hand, has been building all sorts of machines since kindergarten. It is during his tenure as a tech at Skyline Studios in Düsseldorf that his love for music and electrical engineering merged into a relentless quest for creating the best audio equipment.

Amp only & transformers

rockruepel_amp_and_transformers_1080

Amp only & transformers

The appeal of a compressor is as much the inherent sound of the unit as its ability to compress material. Using the same type of output tubes as the old Altec and RS124 compressors and with beautifully sounding Sowter transformers in the output stage, the COMP.TWO is also a great vibe box, with or without compression.

One+Time=Two

rockruepel_drive_1080

One+Time=Two

A compressor is only as useful as its side chain is smart and flexible. Through years of refinement Oliver made sure that COMP.TWO has none of the limitations of traditional monolithic vari-mu circuits and can be as clean or as dirty as you need, as fast as an 1176 or as slow as a Fairchild, all with the texture and tone of a classic tube compressor.

Modern controls

Modern controls

The team at PROCESS.AUDIO captured and recreated every nuance of the hardware and added its signature set of controls, like the Console Remote which lets you control all instances of the COMP.TWO plugin from a central interface, MS capabilities, high-pass filter on a sidechain, DRY/WET control, and of course, lots of presets designed by world-class producers and mixers.

Visualisation

rockruepel_visualisation_1080

Visualisation

Compression can be tricky to perceive, so PROCESS.AUDIO created a visually pleasing and easily readable gain reduction visualizer to aid in precise gain matching and provide a true understanding of the impact of the settings on the program material. That's in addition to faithfully recreating the two gorgeous VU meters of the hardware units.

    Basso 1
    Il basso è uno strumento difficile da posizionare nel mix. È facile che sia troppo forte o troppo debole. Le bande LOW e MID di Sugar sono state pensate in parte per aiutarvi in questo. Il circuito DRIVE è inoltre molto utile per portare fuori armonici in grado di far uscire meglio il basso dal mix. In questo esempio sentirete subito come la sezione LOW crei un cuscino per il fondo e come la saturazione porti su il contenuto armonico. Aggiunge anche un buzz efficace per il brano che aiuta il basso a farsi sentire meglio senza doverlo alzare di volume.
