Compressor

Tier B · Fitted. Fixed-setting compression, saturation, preamps. Within a stated dB.

  • Gain-trajectory error0.186 dBpass
  • Envelope timing error0.9 mspass

Fixed setting. Feed-forward topology; measured top-end slope is flat, so feedback was ruled out.

EQ
Linear sections of this reference passed 37 of 41 probes at tier A.
Doubler
Two voices, opposite pitch offsets. Cross-fade read heads comb the spectrum; a phase-vocoder topology is the roadmap fix.
Reverb
Time-invariant down to the noise floor.
