It stays on my drum bus and master chain—it's fast, punchy, and incredibly versatile." — Moses Schneider (Chart-topping Producer & Live Recording Engineer) "I use the elysia xpressor regularly on my drum bus. It gives you an incredible level of dynamic control, punch, and stereo width that plugin compressors just can't match." — Tape Op Magazine Review "A discrete Class-A stereo compressor with a pristine sound and an amazingly flexible feature set...
