Model 5000

A "Heavy Weight" VCA Compressor

A “Punchy” hybrid compressor with controllable low end “Thrusting” inspired by the famous American compressor and the classic British console compressor. Great on drums, your mix bus, and for mastering. Go subtle or “Thrust” your sound! This is part of the new Enhanced Classics series.

At Tone Empire, they are inspired by classic devices yet yearn to bring the extended functionality to today’s modern musicians, engineers & producers working on advanced systems with a need for more flexibility and extended tones. Model 5000 is their 2nd release in the new Enhanced Classics series.

The Model 5000 is a hybrid VCA modeled on the famous “Thrusting” American compressor and the famous British “Console” compressor. Get “Bottom Weight” on your mixes with ease.

Knock Circuit

This plugin brings the best of the 2 compressors to one single unit. This VCA compressor derives its compressor ratio, attack and release time from the British Model and brings a unique “KNOCK” circuit from the American compressor design.

The user can truly get that punchy low-end side chain compression but with a low-end lift found nowhere else. This adds “weight” to audio material in just the right and desired way.

TransX

Tone Empire also added a “TransX” input/output transformer option. When engaged, the TransX adds transformer coloration to the circuit, this brings a pleasing analog solid-state style saturation to the sound. The more the input gain, the more the drive.

Since this compressor is meant to be pushed hard, Tone Empire have also included up to 8x oversampling, allowing users to get a much better frequency response and peak detection. The more your CPU capability, the more analogue you can make it sound. This is a user-selectable feature, choose from off, 2x, 4x, or 8x oversampling.
