The Iconic Bus Compressor, Reimagined and Fully Resampled

AnalogX proudly presents a major update to the American 2500 Compressor Emulations. This is not a small revision or incremental tweak the entire pack has been fully resampled and rebuilt, dramatically expanding your tonal choice, dynamic accuracy, and real-world usability.

This legendary American bus compressor has shaped countless hit records with its unmistakable punch, weight, and glue. With this update, Genesis users now have access to the most comprehensive and detailed digital recreation of this topology we’ve ever released.

The result is deeper envelope realism, tighter low-end authority, smoother gain reduction, and more authentic program-dependent behaviour, whether you’re working gently on a mix bus or pushing into aggressive, modern compression.

Update Log

03.01.26
• Fixed latency reporting issue

26.01.26
• Added completely resampled HQ pack
• Over 2500 new emulations captured
• Expanded attack, release, ratio, feed-forward / feed-back, and loudness behaviours
• Improved transient accuracy and low-frequency punch

What’s Inside

This updated pack covers a wide range of real-world bus compression behaviours.

Included are emulations spanning:

• Multiple attack and release timings
• Soft, medium, and hard knee behaviours
• Feed-forward and feed-back compression paths
• Light, medium, loud, and hard-driven compression styles
• Linked and unlinked stereo behaviours
• Mix-bus, drum-bus, stem, and parallel-ready captures

Each emulation is calibrated so you can simply load, level match, and mix — no guesswork, no chasing sweet spots.

A Brief History

Designed as a bold American response to classic British bus compression, this compressor introduced a more modern, flexible approach to dynamics control. Discrete circuitry, precision timing options, and a forward-thinking low-frequency emphasis circuit gave engineers a tool that could be both clean and aggressive, controlled yet exciting.

It quickly became a staple across mixing and mastering studios, especially for drum buses, mix buses, and parallel chains where punch and cohesion are critical. Its ability to add impact without collapsing transients is what made it a modern classic.

AnalogX’s updated emulations pay homage to this legacy by capturing not just static settings, but how the compressor breathes, reacts, and moves with real music, something only possible with large-scale, high-resolution sampling.

Why It Stands Out

• Over 2500 fully resampled HQ emulations
• Deep, program-dependent envelope accuracy
• Authentic low-end punch and bus glue
• Designed for real mixing decisions, not just presets
• Optimised for Genesis GPU

This is a compressor pack you can rely on across an entire mix — not just for one sound.
