Voxengo has introduced Crunchessor, a general-purpose track compressor in PC VST plug-in format.

Crunchessor offers ease of tuning, which at the same time instantly delivers an excellent sonic performance, and valve-type processing, which is applied in parallel to compression. This makes Crunchessor ideal for musicians and producers who are fond of analog compression sound and its warmness.

Crunchessor offers a selection of compression coloration styles–by itself a pretty unique feature for a compressor. Choosing an appropriate coloration style you can add a character most suitable for the program material you are working with. As an option, you can disable both coloration and valve warming processing to get a neutral and clean compression sound.

Crunchessor can be used for any kind of program material: drums, vocals, bass, guitars, synth sounds, etc. Crunchessor can be suitable both for single track and whole mix processing.
