Key Features
The PreSonus Fat Everest C100A Compressor Plug-in is an authentic emulation of a traditional American levelling amplifier. A studio staple, the Everest C100A is the apex of all dynamics processors, preserving dynamic impression whilst ensuring maximum level stability throughout your individual tracks and mixes. The perfect solution for the modern producer, mixing and mastering engineers, the program-dependent design dynamically alters the response of the Everest to incoming audio signals. This ensures highly dynamic instruments such as vocals, pianos, electric bass or even full mixes and masters can be processed with punch and power whilst maintaining level.
To meet the demands of modern producers and mixing engineers, PreSonus Everest C100A is equipped with flexible attack and release times to cater to your audio as well as an onboard sidechain input with a high-pass filter. Heard on countless Top 10 records, the C100A will quickly become your go-to dynamic processor in the studio.

The FAT Everest C100A belongs to a unique category of studio processors. Living somewhere between a limiter and compressor, the functionality of the Everest C100 far exceeds what seems possible with the basic two dials and two switch controls. A historic piece of equipment with a background in broadcast radio roots as early as 1962, the Fat Everest C100 Compressor takes the essence of the original program-dependent design and brings it to life in the modern digital age. An updated feature set ensures flexibility and functionality for the modern producer and mixing engineer, such as the onboard sidechain input with a high-pass filter and switchable attack and release times. Perfect for modern electronic music composition, the onboard sidechain filter ensures you can activate your levelling amplifier against extraneous tracks within your project, helping to achieve the signature pumping effect.
Delivered in a streamlined interface, the PreSonus Fat Everest C100A lets you dial in sounds quickly and easily. Preferred by some huge names within the industry and heard on some of the biggest albums to date including Nevermind and Jagged Little Pill, the Fat Everest C100 Compressor will quickly become your go-to for all your dynamic processing needs.
Using a completely unique design, the Fat Everest C100A delivers stunning dynamic retention whilst maintaining the perfect level. What sets the Everest C100A apart from the rest is the automatic amplification of your audio signal, bringing back any gain that was lost through compression. This way, your track level remains constant and is processed dynamically as opposed to a traditional compressor which acts when a threshold is exceeded.
Packaged in a highly intuitive interface, PreSonus Everest C100A has two simple controls and two switches, Gain Reduction and Gain and switchable attack and release times. With roughly +40dB of gain available, no matter how much compression you apply to your track, you will be able to bring the level back up to commercial standards.
Traditionally, this American-style limiting amplifier has internally fixed attack and release times, dynamically moving to your input source. Whilst still being source-dependent, Everest boasts a switchable attack and release time to cater to your instrument and mix perfectly. With an average attack time of 10ms, Everest performs exceptionally on transient-heavy instruments such as drum shells. The non-linear release makes the Everest C100A compressor perform in a constant state, increasing release time depending on the strength of your input signal. This fluidity means that the Everest is the ideal candidate for mastering and mixing applications, ensuring that your track remains glued together with a consistent level and response whilst preserving the dynamics for a punchy and powerful sound.
Compatible with both your DAW host and the PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixers, the PreSonus Fat Everest C100 Compressor Plug-in enables you to mix using high-quality plug-ins on stage, no matter what other equipment is available to you. Alternatively, recording studios using StudioLive Series III mixers can lighten the CPU usage from their computers by processing directly onto your digital mixer.
