Klanghelm DC1A Compressor v3.4.1 x64 x86 VST AU AAX WiN MAC [FREE] screenshot
FREE | 05 May 2022 | 39.4 MB
DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. I've taken a few of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Sound wise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C but offers a few additional features, such as negative ratio and stereo unlink. I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, faithful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.

Klanghelm MJUC jr. v1.4.0 x64 x86 VST AU RTAS AAX WiN MAC [FREE] screenshot
FREE | 05 May 2022 | 23.7 MB
It's a variable-mu** design with lots of vibe, capable of smooth leveling but also heavy pumping effects. With its two gain stages and interstage transformer simulation it offers a very deep and lively soundstage.
The three-position timing switch not only controls the attack and release times of the unit, but also the slew rate of the transformers and the timing of the other parts of the circuitry, that are directly influencing the generated harmonics (saturation).
