The Tree Audio Tree Comp is a single-channel 500 series VCA compressor using Steve Firlotte’s VF600 discrete amp blocks.


The Tree Audio Tree Comp uses a VCA design inspired by the original Inward Connections mVC500 and VOGAD modules. It provides wide-ranging time constant options from an ultra-fast 0.2ms to 20ms attack and release ranging from 0.1ms all the way to 3s. Ratio ranges between 2:1 to 30:1 and Infinity for subtle compression to heavy limiting. It also includes a Wet/Dry circuit for parallel compression for additional tonal colouration.


The Tree Comp also includes a side-chain high pass filter with a fixed 250Hz frequency and a stereo link switch for stereo operation when two modules are connected to a suitable 500 Series chassis with side-chain input.

    KEY BENEFITS

    Versatile Compression Range

    The Tree Comp offers a broad compression range with an adjustable attack time from 0.2ms to 20ms and release time from 0.1s to 3s, accommodating everything from subtle dynamic control to aggressive limiting.

    Parallel Compression Capability

    Equipped with a Wet/Dry mix control, the Tree Audio Tree Comp allows for precise blending of the compressed and uncompressed signals, enabling users to achieve perfect parallel compression and enhanced tonal variety.

    Enhanced Control with Side-Chain Filter

    This compressor includes a side-chain high pass filter at a fixed frequency of 250Hz, which helps in reducing low-frequency pumping and maintaining consistent audio dynamics, particularly useful in mix settings.
