Kush Audio Tweaker Sidechain Shaping Compressor #0762 (Used)

The Kush Audio Tweaker takes compression to the next level. Its vintage, discrete VCA and bespoke detector are married to envelope-pushing controls that allow this box to be whatever you want it to be: smooth and polished or dark and filthy, subtle and delicate or fierce and explosive.

To achieve such extremes, Tweaker stretches and expands the range and function of its traditional compressor controls, then breaks new ground with a radical and innovative ‘Sidechain Shaper’ section. With simultaneous Tri-Metering of Input/Output/Gain Reduction levels, Single or Dual-stage Release, Wet/Dry Mix, and a unique ‘Curve’ control that sharpens the knee as the ratio is increased, Tweaker is an old soul with a post-modern brain.

This expansion of the classic, coupled with the introduction of the cutting edge, enable this box to create a wider array of effects than any other compressor in existence. Whatever your vision, Tweaker delivers.
