"Throughout my career I have evolved the way I work to incorporate working within both the analogue and digital world. I own around twenty outboard compressors, but the Softube FET Compressor offers another way to warp a sound which the hardware units don't."

"Softube is so good, after using it the first time, I could speak french. Mainly because I kept saying: Pardon my french, but these plugins are Fucking unbelievable! The FET Compressor in particular is probably the warmest, fattest compressor plugin on the market."

"The FET Compressor can convince with the looks as well as with the sound."

"With the FET Compresssor plug-in Softube has an extremely recommendable plug-in in its portfolio, which interprets the legendary Urei 1176 acoustically in an excellent way."

Christian Preissig, Keys Magazine (03/2009)

"It is a very versatile and creative tool that cannot be mimicked nor matched by any other plug-in as far as I know."

"I can not imagine myself working without it, even though we have the hardware equivalent in the studio (this one being a DIY 1176 based on the Gyraf schematics) and the UAD-1 card with it's own flavor of the 1176LN."

"One thing is certain, Softube know their way around DSP code. FET Compressor is very light on the CPU, which means that you can have as many instances of the plug-in open as you could possibly need."

"Softube included the possibility to use an external side-chain signal, which is a brilliant move! Finally, an 1176LN that can be abused!"

Niklas Silén, Pro Rec (10/2009)

"the FET Compressor from Softube is an all-around winner here at my Tones 4 $ Studios. It performs amazing on bass guitar, snare drums and the best, so far, on lead vocals!"
