Gate and Compressor are often combined, so why not put both into a single module? Lo the GC-1 is born! Use the Gate section to remove room tone or unwanted background noise. There is up to 48 dB of rejection provided by the Range control, and an extra fast response characteristic can be enabled with the FAST button. There is also a preset hold time enable by the HOLD button. The Comp section takes the output of the Gate and applies some dynamic range control. The compressor in the GC-1 is the only compressor that offers an Auto attack/release mode. The GC-1 is great for a snare or kick that has too much room tone but also needs to be squashed and then turned up. The GC-1 is also suitable for vocals, and plenty of other acoustic instruments where you don’t really want to hear all of what has been recorded! The GC-1 Module is a part of the 6060 Ultimate Module Collection. The 6060 UMC contains the largest collection of processing options of any module-based plug-in available. It includes over 30 unique modules for EQ, compression, saturation, distortion, specialized filtering, dynamic range expansion, gating, and more.
