The Looptrotter Monster 2 Compressor is a bold, attitude-packed analog dynamics processor designed to add weight, punch, and unmistakable character to any signal you run through it.

Built by hand in Poland and inspired by classic diode-bridge compression, the Monster 2 goes far beyond traditional control - delivering everything from subtle glue to aggressive saturation and explosive energy. Whether you’re shaping drums, smashing parallel buses, thickening vocals, or adding life to synths and guitars, the Monster 2 brings tracks forward with authority and excitement. At the heart of the Monster 2 is Looptrotter’s proprietary SAT (Saturation) circuit, which introduces harmonically rich coloration that can be blended directly into the compressed signal. This makes it just as much a tone-shaping tool as it is a compressor. With selectable feed-forward and feed-back compression modes, flexible attack and release controls, a continuously variable ratio, and a wet/dry blend for parallel processing, the Monster 2 offers deep control while remaining fast and intuitive to use. It’s a creative compressor built for engineers who want sound, not just control.

What We Think

avatar

The Looptrotter Monster 2 is a compressor built for engineers who aren’t afraid of bold tone and strong personality. When customers come to us looking for something that can add serious punch, density, and attitude — especially on drums, buses, or aggressive sources — this is exactly the kind of compressor we like to talk about. What we like about the Monster 2 is how unapologetically musical it is. The saturation and compression work together in a way that feels alive, letting you push signals hard without them falling apart. It can deliver subtle control when you want it, but where it really shines is when you lean into it and let it add weight, excitement, and harmonic grit. The layout is straightforward, the controls invite experimentation, and it rewards engineers who like to shape sound by feel as much as by numbers. If you’re after a clean, invisible compressor, this probably isn’t it — but if you want a tool that brings energy and character to your tracks, the Monster 2 makes a lot of sense. It’s a great fit for drum buses, parallel compression, synths, and anything that benefits from a little controlled chaos. And if you’re wondering where it’ll sit best in your setup, we’re always happy to help you figure that out.
