Slate Digital Custom Opto Compressor (Download)
The warmth of classic opto circuitry—with no limits

Slate Digital took all the fullness, tone, and warmth of one of the most classic vintage Opto compressors in history and blew the doors off it by adding speed, ratio, and 4 new tone control settings so you can shape your sound to perfection in seconds. Custom Opto gives you a degree of precision never before available with this kind of Opto compressor.

We pored over every aspect of classic Optos—from the components to the tubes, to the unique properties of the optical cell. We mapped every feature, obsessively modeling everything we could lay our hands on.

The result is the Slate Digital Custom Opto Compressor!

- Hot Rod Your Sound

Decide how quickly the circuit responds with Speed, and dial in just the right amount of compression with Ratio. Get all the smoothness of a Classic Opto with the controls you need to hot rod your sound.

- Dial in your Tone

Choose from 4 new custom vibes to breathe life into your mix. Open up your top end with Airy. Take out harsh frequencies with Smooth. Bring snap & punch with Aggro. Add vintage fatness with Warm. The Tone knob is your new best friend.

- Dynamic Duo

FG-2A gives you that smooth, classic 2A sound that's been shaping music for over half a century. Custom Opto goes even further & lets you shape your tracks—including full mixes—to perfection. Together these two Optos give you total control of your mix. And you get them both in the All Access Pass.
