V Doan Tgl Level Comp Opto

Based on the twin opto and vari-tube compressors found in a German modern channel strip, run in series for stacked, complementary gain reduction. It is well suited to tracking, bus and mastering duties where you want two distinct compression characters working together rather than one comp doing double duty. This is only the optical section of the strip.

Auto mode: fast/slow side-chains race together

Slow detector has a more program-dependent behaviour
