Girn
Guitar Compressor
Squeezed until the wood talks back.

7-day trialNotes
A one-knob compressor for guitarists recording at home. It goes from a clean studio squeeze to a wrecked, snarling grind, with the level held all the way.
The first 60% is a clean 1980s rack compressor with the make-up done for you. Past that it squeezes beyond what the hardware could, until a picked note comes out quieter than its tail, and drives the output stage into its rails.

Questions
Does it get louder as I turn it up?
No. Girn learns the part's level over its first several seconds of playing, matches the output to the input, and keeps that with the session.
Why is there only one knob?
Threshold, ratio, timing and make-up all move together on it. You turn it until the part sits.
Does it work in stereo?
Yes, linked. Both sides get one gain, so the image doesn't move.
What happens when the trial ends?
The plugin stays in your sessions and passes audio through untouched until you activate it. It never goes silent, and your projects still open.
Is it in a bundle?
Yes. It's also in the Compressor Bundle, all five for $25.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Email support@oddduckaudio.com within 14 days of buying it, from the address you bought with, for a full refund.
