The VC500 is a VCA compressor for the 500 format and it raises the bar! Utilizing the famed SPA690 op-amp with Military Spec construction, the VC500 does not disappoint. The VC500 module is refined enough for mastering or mix buss use, but rocks enough to replace a dbx 160VU on bass or snare, bring out harmonics and air on an acoustic guitar or pump some room mics for a "When the Levee Breaks" effect.

The VC500 can do it all.

Testimonials:

"The vocal was pretty harsh in the chorus and the Inward handled that problem really well. It's such a cool compressor, a bit warmer and very analog sounding. I was able to get the vocal to be alot more natural without taking the aggression out of it."
