From the vendor
Warden is an optical compressor with a range of features typically reserved for studio-grade devices. The Warden has a variety of boost and sustain options. With full control over attack, release, sustain and ratio, The Warden allows you to do everything from heavy squash with fast attack and release to "barely noticeable" subtle compression. Optical compression has a reputation for being more distinctive than VCA or FET based compression, and The Warden is no exception.
