F760X-RS Compex Limiter - Non Transformer model

Overview

A rare and genuinely exciting piece of outboard to find on the used market: the Q2 Audio F760X-RS is a faithful and critically acclaimed recreation of the legendary original Compex stereo FET compressor, in the non-transformer configuration. The original Compex was one of the most versatile and capable dynamics processors ever made, combining compression, peak limiting, and expansion/gating in a single unit — and this recreation captures all of that functionality with modern build quality and reliability.

Engineers who know the Compex circuit will understand immediately why this is special. For those encountering it for the first time: this is one of the most complete dynamics tools available in a single 2U chassis, equally at home on stereo bus, individual channels, or mastering applications.
