Stereo Tube Compressor
The HHB Radius 3 Fat Man provides instant access to 15 high-quality, stereo tube compression presets, making it easy to add fat, professional sounding tube compression when tracking, mixing, or playing live. The programs have been created in consultation with leading audio engineers, including Pink Floyd's Andy Jackson, ensuring a polished, professional sound for your mix.

For users who wish to create their own compression settings, a manual mode provides fully adjustable control over threshold, ratio, knee, attack, and release settings. Input/output gains and gain make-up controls remain adjustable in both preset and manual modes to allow gain balancing for different systems.
