For more than thirty years, the SMT-100A has been the compressor of choice for top professionals around the world. The SMT-100A is based on a processor that was widely used and well known during the 1980s for its fast, accessible controls and its classic '80s sound.
Its compression is very smooth: the material is compressed gradually as the audio level exceeds the threshold, making it the perfect choice for smoothing out vocals and acoustic instruments while keeping the performance natural.
It is one of the easiest compressor effects to use because its controls are very simple, truly set-and-forget, and Antelope's real-time FPGA modeling really shines on the SMT, since it is a great tool for tracking, letting the vocalist or musician easily hear every note of the performance.
Antelope's faithful modeling, the smooth, characterful tube coloration and the original controls of this popular classic make it ideal not only for tracking but also for creating iconic mixes, as Mick Guzauski has done, using the original for years on individual tracks, stems and even the mix bus to build a complete track, something you can now do with the SMT-100A in an incredible way, all thanks to Antelope's latest vintage and essential model.
The SMT-100A is one of the easiest compressor effects to get used to working with. This ease of use does not come at the expense of its effectiveness or its sound; on the contrary, the SMT-100A is another vintage legend that belongs to the FPGA FX library.
The SMT-100A is known for its "fast attack times," which can do great things for vocals, percussion and the growl of bass. This very special sound has been preserved in the SMT-100A, as have its simple design and controls.
The SMT-100A lets you focus on the music you want to make and get the sound you want to have.
