XT-160 Over Easy Compressor Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – XT-160 Over Easy Compressor (GENESIS)
Ethereum Series | Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz

Classic Over Easy Compression, Refined for Ethereum

AnalogX brings you the XT-160 Over Easy Compressor — now part of the Ethereum Series. This isn’t just a faithful capture of a studio legend — it’s a fully evolved analog emulation, reimagined with ultra-precise Ethereum modelling to bring warmth, transparency, and effortless control straight to your mix chain.

Originally known for its soft-knee "Over Easy" response, this unit became a staple for engineers worldwide — from tracking vocals to taming drum transients. Our Ethereum model goes further, capturing every nuance of its gentle onset compression, transformer-enhanced character, and fast envelope behaviour with stunning detail.

A Brief History of a Studio Favourite

Released in the early days of VCA compression, the original hardware was prized for its ability to apply dynamic control smoothly — without pumping, harshness, or audible artifacts. Designed with a unique soft-knee curve, it glided into compression in a way that felt almost invisible... until you bypassed it and realized what you were missing.

Its ability to “sit” vocals, tame drums, and glue mixes together made it a go-to in studios from the ‘80s onward — and now it lives again inside Genesis, better than ever.

What You Get

This pack includes two Ethereum-precision captures of the XT-160's core behaviour, both sampled at 192kHz and modelled down to 48kHz for performance:

• XT-160 Over Easy – 2:1
  Smooth, natural compression — perfect for vocals, acoustic instruments, and transparent mix glue.
• XT-160 Over Easy – 4:1
  Punchier character with firm control — ideal for drum groups, bass, and percussive elements.

Each emulation responds just like the original, with gentle onset, fast recovery, and subtle saturation built in — only now with Ethereum clarity and depth.

Why Choose XT-160 Over Easy (Ethereum)?

• Ethereum Precision Modeling – Advanced tone tracking for lifelike compressor feel
• Inspired by a Studio Classic – The gold standard for soft-knee, transparent compression
• Transformer-Driven Warmth – Captured in every nuance

Ethereum Series Explained

Ethereum Series modelling represents the next step up from Gold — with longer temporal resolution, cleaner harmonic behaviour, and better low-level detail handling. It's perfect for compressors that need to retain natural feel, musicality, and analog warmth under stress.
