Classic VCA bus compressor reinvented
The mystique of old-school analog gear is undeniable, with certain devices achieving legendary status. One of these is the classic VCA stereo bus compressor that has graced countless hits with its distinctive mojo and unmistakable vibe. At Klundert Music, however, we know that these legendary units come with a hefty price tag, making them unattainable for some home studio owners and project studio owners. So Warm Audio made it their mission to break through the cost ceiling and put the magical sound of the classic design into as many hands as possible with the Warm Audio Bus-Comp stereo VCA bus compressor. But they didn't stop at the original specs, adding new features and capabilities to extend the Bus-Comp's inspiration, including the ability to insert CineMag transformers into the signal path for added depth and color. Whether you use it on the front end for drum overheads, room mics or keyboards, or on the back end to merge your mix, the Warm Audio Bus-Comp Stereo VCA Bus Compressor is the right tool for the job.

I'll take the bus!
To provide the Bus-Comp with its boutique-caliber sound, Warm Audio chose high-quality components, such as custom CineMag transformers and THAT Corporation VCAs. Using efficient, modern manufacturing techniques, Warm Audio removed unnecessary costs from the units, keeping the price tag low without sacrificing quality. That means you get all the vibrant VCA compression for a fraction of the price!
Familiar functionality with some welcome additions
The Warm Audio Bus-Comp is deceptively simple, with six knobs for controlling Threshold, Attack, Ratio, Release, HPF and Makeup gain. Yet it is extremely flexible and can handle any level of compression, from light mastering-style compression to heavy over-compressed sounds, all while maintaining a musical tone. Other controls include a compressor bypass switch for quick A/B comparison, external sidechain enablement, and transformer enablement for adding rich harmonic coloration to the compressed signal.
