⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drawmer OC1- 500 series Opto Compressor

' ...very nice snare attack, which, when mixed with the original sound, delivers a natural snare sound with a more pronounced attack. Pop, jazz, blues... the perfect application for the Drawmer OC1. For heavily processed sounds, e.g. metal, I would prefer to use the Drawmer FC due to its aggressiveness. There is one conclusion... it is worth having both. In a studio environment, both compressors, the Drawmer OC1 and the Drawmer FC1, work very well, and for this price it would be very difficult to find equipment with similar sound quality and functionality. I recommend it.'

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'The Drawmer FC1 is a surprisingly good compressor, and considering the price, it's fantastic. Its sound and features definitely surpass the industry standard....You could say that with the FC-1, Drawmer "brought everything they had to the table." And it works. I highly recommend it'

FC1 & OC1 - BIG & AIR Modes. Borrowed from the award-winning Drawmer 1973, BIG and AIR give the OC1 and FC1 even greater tonal flexibility.

BIG helps preserve low-end power by reducing the compressor's sensitivity to bass frequencies, while AIR maintains high-frequency clarity and detail for a more open, transparent sound.

The result? Smoother, more musical compression with enhanced depth, punch, and presence.

' What a beast for such a small unit!'

The FC1 brings classic Drawmer FET compression to the 500 Series format. Inspired by the FET design of our 1970s range, it delivers fast, responsive compression that's ideal for controlling transients, adding punch and character, and bringing sources forward in the mix.

Perfect for drums, electric guitars, and energetic vocals where impact and presence matter most.

Thanks so much to David at Mixbus Tv for once again giving our new units a comprehensive review.

Give the video a listen and see if you agree with him 😃

Which one is your favourite? FET or Opto?

03/08/2026

Choose your flavour...

Are you more FET or Opto?

The FC1 compressor delivers a gritty, assertive FET character with punch and attitude.

The OC1 offers warm, musical Opto compression with smooth, natural control.

Or perhaps a bit of both is exactly what your 500 series rack needs.

FULL CONTROL.
NO COMPROMISE.
