The most legendary opto-compressor in the history of recorded music.

FG-2A Compressor
Every Little Detail
Unique saturation characteristic? Check.
Magic of the T4 optical attenuator? Check.
Signature release response? Check.
We obsessed over every aspect of the 2A, to bring you the most sonically authentic recreation of the legendary compression.
Start With The Best
Forget the rest. We found the perfect 2A that leaves all others in the dust. Dripping with warmth, loaded with character, and built to make every track sing, the FG-2A is opto compression at its absolute peak.
The New Standard
Most 2A plugins miss the mark. FG-2A nails it. Every peak, every bit of saturation is just like the legendary hardware. Nothing else comes close.
Built for Virtual Mix Rack
FG-2A is hands down the best recreation of the historic 2A compressor. But it doesn’t stop there. Pair the FG-2A with all the modules in VMR, all the plugins from Slate Digital, and everything from Solid State Logic, and Harrison.
One Rack. Endless Combinations. Total Control.
Available in the Complete Access.
“I’ve used a lot of LA2As and I’ve never been totally happy with a software emulation before FG-2A. This one has the tone, the features, and action right. It’s pretty quickly becoming a favorite.”
