FG-116
The FG-116 is the most precise digital replication of the classic American FET limiter. No expense was spared to capture every nuance of this classic sounding compressor / limiter. From its trademark timing characteristics to the extremely musical sound of its transformer, the FG-116 will give engineers the musical and fat tone that has made the hardware so famous. The FG-116 sounds great on everything like lead vocals, drums, and bass guitars.
- GR Meter: Displays the amount of compression in dB.
- Input / Output: Adjusts signal level. Hold Shift while turning to link both and maintain internal unity gain.
- Ratio: Sets compression slope (e.g., 4:1 = 4dB in, 1dB out).
- Attack: Controls how quickly compression begins after crossing threshold. Shift+Click to disable compression and retain saturation only.
- Release: Controls how quickly compression stops.
- Noise Reduction: Disables the modeled noise.
- Mix: Blends compressed and dry signal for parallel compression.
FG-401
The FG-401 started as a recreation of the classic British console channel compressor, but morphed into quite a lot more. It features extended attack/release options, a Class A transformer input, and an alternate circuit for smooth tonal shaping. One of the most versatile mix compressors available.
- GR Meter: Displays gain reduction in dB.
- Threshold: Sets the level at which compression starts.
- Ratio: Adjusts compression slope.
- Attack / Release: Adjust speed of onset and release of compression.
- Make-Up: Adjusts post-compression output level (-24dB to +24dB).
- Mix: For blending dry/compressed signal.
- Transformer: Toggles analog transformer coloration.
- Circuit: Switches between punchier Circuit 1 and transparent Circuit 2.
FG-N
The FG-N is a digital recreation of a 70s British Class A EQ with harmonics, saturation, and added flexibility. Originally a single mid-band EQ, it now includes two mids and extensive filtering. Ideal for drums, vocals, synths, and more.
- High-Shelf: Single gain control at fixed frequency.
- EQ Bands 1 & 2: Each band has Gain and Frequency. Click values to snap to exact points.
- Low-Shelf: Has Frequency and Gain controls, click-to-snap labels included.
- High-Pass Filter: Adjustable frequency; disable by setting to "Off".
- Line & Drive: Line reduces headroom for saturation. Drive retains gain balance but adds coloration.
FG-S
The FG-S is a precise emulation of a classic 80s British EQ, known for its musical tone and interactive mids. Ideal for subtle corrections or broad tone shaping on drums, guitars, and mixes.
- HF: Frequency, Gain, and Bell/Shelf toggle.
- HMF: Frequency, Q, and Gain controls.
- LMF: Frequency, Q, and Gain controls.
- LF: Frequency, Gain, and Bell/Shelf toggle.
- Filter: High-pass filter with adjustable cutoff. Set to "Out" to disable.
