GYRATEC X

The deal

$24.99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $169.00). Sale ends June 1, 2026.

What it is

GYRATEC X is a stereo Vari-Mu tube compressor plugin modeled on a classic hardware unit from the early 2000s, inspired by legendary hardware like the Fairchild 670. It uses a true all-tube signal chain with a no-feedback architecture and pure Class-A topology for warm, musical dynamics control. The result is a compressor that's faster than electro-optical designs while preserving low-end integrity under heavy compression.

Who it's for

Mix engineers and producers who want the character of vintage tube compression on stereo buses, drum rooms, or full mixes. It suits anyone chasing organic, musical glue rather than clinical digital control.

Key features

• True all-tube Vari-Mu compression with a faster response than electro-optical designs
• Pure Class-A topology delivers warm, musical dynamics across the full frequency range
• Smooth high-pass filtering lets you compress hard without degrading low-end quality
• Available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Windows 10/11 and Mac, including Apple Silicon
