The Harrison Audio Comp 500 Series Compressor is a very flexible dynamics processor based on the classic Harrison feed-forward design and offered in 500 Series format. From a transparent leveler on guitars and vocals—using a 1:2 ratio and fast release and applying 2 or 3 dB of gain reduction—to making a sizzling compressed drum and bass track—slamming the ratio in combination with a slow release—the Comp 500 Series module delivers the warm, rich Harrison tone that helped create some of the most iconic albums of the '70s and '80s. Legacy in Analog Harrison consoles have helped create some of the most highly regarded and influential music in history. Michael Jackson, ABBA, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Donald Fagan, and many more iconic artists have relied on Harrison production tools to help create their multiplatinum albums. The latest range of 500 Series modules from Harrison harnesses the sound and features that engineers like Bruce Swedien, Roger Nichols, and Reinhold Mack trusted to make music that stands the test of time. Comp Design The Comp 500 Series module is based on a classic feed-forward design, using a THAT 2180 VCA chip for high-quality analog performance. The compressor’s attack is program-dependent, adapting to the input signal and offering an optimal attack time depending on the source material. The release time is continuously variable from fast to slow. These parameters can turn the Comp module from a transparent leveler into a highly saturated vibe compressor, adding character and excitement to a wide range of sources.
