The FK Comp is an aggressive FET peak limiter attached to a class A line amp section.

The FK has two distinct modes: Comp and Drive. In comp the FK brings character to the most drab of sources. In drive the side chain is disabled allowing the +30 dB line amp to be driven to your little hearts content.

Careful attention was given to the line stages of the FK so as to maintain musicality in high frequencies while in extreme operation so as to not turn high frequency sources (I.E. CYMBALS) to white noise.

    "Holy compressor heaven!  The guys over at Garbage Ideas have truly hit a
    grand slam with the FK Comp.The moment I started running drums
    through it I fell in love.  Simply said this thing makes big things even
    bigger.  If you’re looking for bombastic and exciting look no further. 
    I love that it only has 3 knobs and can handle whatever you put through
    it.  Instant sound!!!! Thanks for designing something awesome and easy to use!!!"

    “A pair of these live as a parallel drum crush in all my mixes, but I’ll
    print a pass of almost every source with them. The drive mode is
    unreal. It’s hard to put into words what these can do, direct or in
    parallel. You can’t get this sound with a plugin.”

    "I’m using my FK comps all the time during both tracking and mixing.
    They’ve got an insane amount of variability from extremely subtle to
    extremely not subtle. Garbage Ideas really nailed it with a compressor
    unlike anything else on the market right now.”

    “I’m not really interested in tools that are subtle, and FK Comp is anything but. I prefer circuits that can be pushed for heavy-handed parallel processing and FK transforms pretty much any source you throw at it. Particularly good as a stereo pair!”
