The Fredenstein V.A.S Compressor is a single-channel FET compressor with side-chain input and Wet/Dry mix for parallel processing and high-performance OPA-2 op-amp.
The Fredenstein V.A.S is engineered as a versatile compressor for tracking and mixing and gives all the controls necessary to shape the sound to your needs. It also features a side-chain insert point with switchable filter to fine tune the signal triggering the compressor and a stereo link function when using two units together.
Designed around Fredenstein’s own OPA2 op-amp and steel core output transformer, the V.A.S delivers a rich and musical sound and ultra-low noise. The OPA2 can also be replaced by other op-amps for different tonality (for example the legendary API 2520).
Like other Fredenstein’s units, the V.A.S delivers impressive performance at a surprisingly low price point thanks to a clever FET architecture which offers increased linearity and noise performance. It is also a very flexible compressor that can easily be used for light tracking duty to all out compression mayhem with a ratio ranging from 2:1 to 20:1. Attack time ranges to 0.5ms to 50ms and the release time from 70ms to 2.5s.
