The Looptrotter Audio Engineering’s Monster is a stereo hybrid solid-state/tube compressor, the first offering from the Polish company.
The Monster is a stereo FET compressor with an optional tube saturation circuit. The compression section features input and output controls, plus attack and release. Compression ratios are determined by the input level – and a toggle switch enables the unit to be used as a soft-knee limiter.
The tube saturation section comprises a single rotary pot (click detent) that controls the amount of harmonic distortion present in the signal. A toggle switch is provided to boost second harmonics. This process can be hard bypassed, as can the entire unit.
There is also a Mix knob, which can be used for parallel compression, mixing the processed signal with the unprocessed signal.
