Rayphlex Compressors Mk2

When this set was first released (September 2012) it had the distinction with many Nebula users as being the first Nebula compressor that ‘actually works’. Before this release, Nebula had a reputation with many as not being very good for actual compression, and compressor programs were commonly used just for their tone, in combination with VST plug-ins to do the actual gain reduction. I think it’s more than fair to say that this release helped change all that. The hardware has a great reputation for precision, and being somewhat transparent, while still having its own character. It has lots of controls and features (including an extra high frequency control section, which I sampled for use here), which made it very tricky to sample, but that’s part of what drew me to them. It also has amazing specs as far as noise/distortion goes, and who knows, they may one day be considered a modern classic. Some people seem to think of them as such already.
