GoldenAge Project offers with the Comp-3A Jr a vintage style 1-channel compressor, which is not only easy to use, but also gets the best out of the incoming signal in terms of sound. The sound benefits from the interaction of the built-in components, all of which work discretely (resistor body, capacitor, diodes, transistor) and also the various input and outputtransformers that have been optimized for their purposes. This combination of components corresponds to the design of older audio hardware and not to the integrated circuits, which are significantly cheaper and do not always produce the desired results - compared to vintage compressors/EQs, etc. - deliver. In addition, there is an integratedoptocoupler with its own sound characteristics of compression for gain control. And with just twocontrols, 5 switches and an LED VU display, excellent results can be achieved in just a few simple steps.
