BG-2 Digital Implementation
We created this digital implementation as part of our engineering partnership with Bryce Gonzales, who designed the BG-2 circuitry from the ground up. It is the culmination of extensive digital and analog analysis with an archival level of detail. Concentrating on transience and phenomena beyond normal 96k sampling rates, we employ analog equipment, proprietary analysis, and logging that includes ultra-high sample rates for transient responses. The VST3, AU, and AAX digital implementations provide the same capabilities as the hardware, with some added bonus features that were not possible to build into the physical units due to manufacturing constraints. About the BG-2 The BG-2 is an all-tube, fully transformer-balanced vari-mu compressor with automatic leveling capability. It has a front end in the style of a British-modified Altec 436 with a twin 6V6 output amp in the style of an RCA BA6A or Gates. The BG-2 has standard 600 ohm input, or 150 ohm for more gain and transformer color.
