No matter who you are, chances are you’ve heard this compressor in action. The original hardware compressor is one of the most iconic ever created. It was famed for its versatile nature and unique character. It is also championed as being great for use on vocals as well as drums, delivering a distinctive flavour that hasn't been recreated since; until now.
The beautifully recreated GUI (graphical user interface) takes its inspiration from the original with chunky vintage knobs and a retro VU-style meter. The preset bank allows you to capture your inspiration when it strikes, providing you with a range of pre-loaded settings as well as the ability to create and save your own. You can even share presets across operating systems, so if you have a friend who uses a Mac you can still use their presets on your Windows computer. Crafted to be light on CPU, the Boz Plus Compressor can be loaded in multiple instances without your computer lagging.
Whilst staying true to the original design, Boz has incorporated new and improved tools for modern music-making. Expanding on the hardware version, the digital plugin features a quick and easy way to achieve parallel compression. For that classic NY sound, all you have to do is combine the dry signal with the wet signal – perfect for capturing that legendary drum room sound. The dry passthrough knob allows you to push your compression to the max without distorting the overall dynamics for a truly powerful and crisp sound.
Version 2 modernises the user experience whilst leaving the sonic signature you expect unchanged. Version 1 closely matched the workflow of the hardware which was optimised for getting both hands on the controls and making changes to multiple parameters at once. However, a DAW-based workflow typically means adjusting one parameter at a time using a mouse or keyboard.
To simplify its use in the digital domain, the user-interface has been streamlined to deliver the same results, in less time. The layout of the compressor has been reconfigured as well. Instead of switches that blend into the interface, the attack parameters of the expander and compressor were placed in-line with the related controls on knobs. This ensures the end-user doesn't flip the incorrect attack time switch whilst trying to dial in settings. The labels of the switches are clickable, meaning you don't need to cycle through each option when chosing which mode you are in on the Compression Expander mode.
“Like DB, this thing is pure rock’n’roll! We’re loving the way it sounds on drums here.” – Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Kiss)
“The +10db recreates a piece of gear that may not be as ubiquitous as other well-known counterparts, however, the original’s sonic signature has made it a well-kept (until now) secret weapon for me and countless other engineers. From the beautiful smash of the compressor/limiter to the often forgotten, but unique sounding eq section, this plug-in recreates the personality of the hardware with aplomb.” - Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Sara Bareilles, Switchfoot)
“It’s what I had hoped it would be. Big, open, punchy and versatile. Very happy to have it in my arsenal. Thanks DB!” - Ted Jensen, Sterling Sound Mastering (Billy Joel, Green Day, Talking Heads, Norah Jones, Mastodon)
