A new take on a classic Sound

Lindell Audio's 7X-500 is an emulation of Lindell Audio's one-channel compressor/limiter that uses a field-effect transistor (FET) feedback design. This plugin is Lindell Audio’s take on the classic ”1176® Sound”. Use the 7X-500 with moderate settings to gently tighten up pads, or crank the ratio to 100:1 and slam it on your drum bus to achieve an iconic rock and roll effect.

Aggressive transient control and edgy distortion

Some compressors struggle to clamp down on aggressive source material like rap and metal vocals, but not the 7X-500. When you use fast attack and release settings, the 7X-500 will respond like lightning to incoming audio information. By pushing this compressor hard, you can introduce edgy distortion to your mixes; a great fit for amped-up electric guitars.

A faithful emulation with extra features

The 7X-500 delivers the same versatile sound as the original hardware unit, but it includes new and exclusive features. There's a high-pass sidechain filter and Mix control that you can use to apply parallel compression to tracks without creating send effects. Additional plugin-only features include stereo operation, continuously variable attack and release controls, along with an Analog button that introduces noise, hum, and transformer saturation to your signal.
