Full Feature List
Compressor section
- Authentic circuit from the original console
- Classic attack, release, and ratio settings
- Four THAT 2181C VCAs for true stereo sidechain like the original
- Continuously variable pots for precise fine tuning of threshold and makeup gain
- 25dB of makeup gain
- External sidechain input
- Premium components like WIMA caps, Sifam knobs, and authentic meter and switches
Mod section
- Sidechain high pass filter (HPF) to prevent pumping on sources with big low end
- Switchable mono-summed sidechain
- Wet/dry mix control for easy parallel compression
- Engage transformers for added color and sonic weight, use for color even with compressor bypassed
- All mods can be switched out for console-authentic circuitry when not using mods
- Even more mods possible under the hood:
- Adjust almost any setting:
- THRESHOLD sensitivity
- ATTACK/RELEASE times
- RATIO
- MAKE-UP gain
- FILTER frequencies
- DRIVE amounts
- Use vintage DBX VCAs
- Feed-forward mode
- Adjust almost any setting:

You can build the G Bus without any deep understanding of electronics or how compressors work. But by the time you're done you'll know a lot more about both. The build is split up into functional circuit blocks (Balanced Input, Attack, Ratio, etc.) and each section in the step-by-step guide begins with an explanation of what each block does and how key components work.
