Pawn Shop Comp 2.0 is a professional tool that will significantly impact the quality of your mixes. It sounds great on any audio source and in almost any application.
Pawn Shop Comp is not just a compressor, but a fully adjustable tube preamp, two-band EQ and replaceable components that give you unprecedented control over every plug-in parameter.
The developer claims the Pawn Shop Comp 2.0 is a very versatile compressor suitable for a wide variety of tasks and signals. It is based on a hybrid lamp and a FET circuit. The plugin also includes a tube preamp and a two-band equalizer.
The “front panel” has all the necessary compressor parameters: threshold, ratio, attack, release, a “make it beautiful” button and a large VU meter. The fun starts when you open the virtual box and dive inside. This is where the I / O level meters and controls for preamp gain, offset, wet / dry level and working level, and an equalizer are located. The EQ bands are called “weight” and “focus” and now offer switchable frequencies (63/171 Hz and 1.6 / 2.4 kHz). According to the developer, all parameter ranges have been expanded for greater sound flexibility.
As with the first version, Pawn Shop Comp 2.0 takes customization to the next level by allowing you to swap out components. The original plug-in allowed you to choose between two types of resistors and field-effect transistors. In version 2.0, you can now also experiment with three different preamp tubes and three types of output transformers. It’s almost like creating your own compressor, and the great graphical interface makes it all the more fun. Speaking of the GUI, it is now larger and can be changed, and the level meters have been relocated.
