Al.So Dynax2

The Al.So Dynax2 is more than an ordinary compressor, it is designed as a Dynamic Sound Shaper. Conceived around very low distorsion circuits, the Dynax2 allows for a wide range of effects, starting with the smoothest and most transparent compression, and going to the harshest and most spectacular sound designs.
