From Daking Audio

The Daking COMP II is a handmade compressor/limiter designed to be easy to use and sound like much more expensive comp/limiters.  Built right here in the USA, it offers better sounding compression on all kinds of sources in the studio.  Whether in the hands of a highly experienced engineer who needs fast workflow, or a novice who is not sure how to best set up a compressor, the COMP II gives professional results without a big learning curve.

With big old-style analog meters and a simple setup, the COMP II is easy to understand and easy to use.  Designed carefully by Geoff Daking and Dave Thibodeau to behave well on a variety of real in-studio applications, it may challenge your notions of how good a two-knob compressor can be.

The two channel, electronically balanced COMP II, can operate in dual mono or stereo linked mode for a beautiful stereo image. In dual mono it acts like two independent mono compressors for use on two different – perhaps unrelated – sources. There is no master channel in stereo mode. Each channel retains its independent control.
