The Revolutionary Simulation of the British VCA Master Bus Compressor
Ssl G Bus Compressor Clone
Overloud Comp G is the revolutionary simulation of a legendary VCA Master Bus compressor.
The Radioman Stereo Buss Compressor is a state of the art 1U rack mount clone of the G-Series consoles from the Oxford-based company. The original compressor that this is a clone of has probably been used on more hit records than any other compressor over the past 30 years. One year ago I've purchased a Universal Audio effect accelerator to work with some.
- Hyper-realistic simulation of the original unit thanks to the 4th generation dsp technology
- Built-in Parallel Compression
- Built-in Mid-Side Processing
- Built-in filters on the Sidechain
- Continuous time and ratio selection
- Low CPU usage: more than 1000 instances on a Macbook Pro Retina
- Multilevel undo-redo
- A/B Comparison
- Scribble Strips: take notes anywhere on the plugin panel
- Meter Calibration: calibrate the VU meters at 4 different sensibilities
Comp G goes beyond the mere simulation of the original unit, by adding features not available in the hardware, like the mid-side processing, the parallel compression and and EQ on the sidechain
'A G-Comp with a mix knob and sidechain? Yes, please! I'm loving this compressor.'
- Greg Wells (Adele, Katy Perry, Mika, OneRepublic)
MediaVideosImagesOverview
Built in 1978 by the legendary Townhouse studio engineers, this unique compressor was created using console components supplied by Solid State Logic (SSL). The only hardware unit ever made was now perfectly recreated by Brainworx.
The bx_townhouse Buss Compressor is the ultimate companion for your mix buss, offering just a touch more vibe and mojo than a standard British console buss compressor.
The original unit was built in a time when there simply wasn't an external console buss compressor available for sale, and was used heavily during the 80s and beyond by some of the biggest names in rock, including Queen, Sting, Muse, and many more.
Features
- Unique Buss Compressor built using SSL console parts
- Hand-built by the technical staff at London's Townhouse Studios
- Smooth, cohesive compression for you master buss and subgroups / stems
- Plugin-only features by Brainworx include internal sidechain and Dry/Wet mix control

This Townhouse compressor sounds great.
The BX Townhouse Buss Compressor is my go-to mix buss compressor to glue the mix together before I add saturation, refinement, & final limiting.

This is one of those perfect compressors. Super versatile and it works its mojo on a vast array of sounds, but where it truely shines to me, is on my drum overheads. I could not picture doing a drum… Read More
