Slightly Rude Compressor
(TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite)
The Slightly Rude Compressor is Bomb Factory's
first completely custom compressor design.
Used conservatively, it sounds beautiful on vo-
cals, drums, guitars and piano. Pushed hard, it's
unique and aggressive. The stereo version is spe-
cifically designed to solve the problems that of-
ten plague digital mixes.
How the Slightly Rude Compressor
Works
The Slightly Rude Compressor is not based on
any specific piece of vintage hardware. It is a
completely custom design that features all of
Bomb Factory’s knowledge and expertise in the
realm of digital compression.

Controls
Input Amount Sets the input level to the unit and
the compression threshold, just like the Input
control on an 1176. Full clockwise is loudest.
Make-Up Gain Adds gain after compression. It
works just like the Gain control on an LA-2A.
Release Time Adjusts the release time; full clock-
wise is fastest and provides the most “pump.”
Rudeness Affects the sound of the compression
action.
Slightly Rude/Super Rude Switch Affects the
sound of the compression action.
