Vintage NV-2264 Compressor Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Vintage NV‑2264 Compressor Emulations (GENESIS)

Exclusive to Genesis | Modelled at 48k | Powered by our High Quality Modelling Tier | Calibrated -18 with Red Drive at -24

Timeless Tone. Heavyweight Vintage Dynamics.

Introducing the AnalogX NV‑2264, a meticulously captured emulation of one of the most iconic British compressors ever made. Taken from two fully restored vintage modules, these emulations offer the thick, punchy, harmonically rich dynamics that defined the golden era of analog sound. Expect thunderous tone, classic gain control, and iron-clad compression that simply glues a mix like no plugin ever could.

🎚️ What’s Inside

Included in this pack are eight powerful .gen-format profiles:

• 2264 SAFR 1 & 2 – Smooth vintage compression with warm British tone (two unique units)
• 2264 FAFR 1 & 2 – Fast attack versions for mix bus snap and transient control (two unique units)
• 2264 MAFR – Medium attack, versatile for vocals, guitars, and general mix use
• 2264 SAFR LIMIT 1 & 2 – Limiter mode from two different units for bold, controlled peak shaving

Each model has been calibrated at -18 LUFS input for optimal tone with Red Drive set to -24 - use this as your starting point

🧬 A Brief History

Originally crafted in the early 1970s, the 2264 was designed as a compact, transistor-based compressor/limiter intended for broadcast and studio use. Built to match the sonic signature of its larger cousins (like the 2254), the 2264 was known for its faster attack times, tighter compression, and flexible limit mode.

The version profiled here is inspired by rare vintage 2264 modules, renowned for hand-built analog gear with a fanatical dedication to circuit accuracy. Whether used on vocals, drums, or full mixes, the 2264 became a studio favourite thanks to its thick midrange, extended low end, and transformer-driven mojo.

💡 Why It Stands Out

Unlike sterile modern compressors, the NV‑2264 delivers a distinct analog signature that’s both rich and assertive. What makes this AnalogX pack unique is that we captured two different physical units — subtle differences in transformers, capacitor wear, and transistor behaviour all come into play, resulting in nuanced sonic choices for discerning engineers.

• Unit 1 profiles have a slightly tighter, more focused response
• Unit 2 profiles offer slightly more harmonic saturation and a bolder tone

This gives you the freedom to choose between two authentic 2264 character sets — something you’d only get from real-world vintage gear.
