Overstayer Stereo Voltage Control Model 3722

The Overstayer Stereo Voltage Control Model 3722 is a stereo dynamics processor that combines VCA gain control, discrete analog harmonics circuitry, and a 2-band shelving EQ into a single, deeply interactive signal-shaping unit. Dynamics range from fast peak limiting to smooth RMS compression, with multiple starting ratios and a Behavior control for sculpting transient and sustain envelopes well beyond what conventional compressors allow. Driving the Level control into Overstayer’s Harmonics stage adds musical harmonic color, cohesiveness, and perceived loudness without sacrificing the integrity of the source — a workflow equally at home in Los Angeles mix rooms and tracking sessions. An integrated blend control and external sidechain insert round out the feature set, giving engineers precise control over how aggressively the unit shapes the signal at every stage.

Key Features

• Highly interactive stereo dynamics, tone, and harmonics control in a single unit — each stage adds its own character cumulatively
• Dynamics range from fast peak limiting to smooth RMS compression with multiple starting ratios and a Behavior control for custom envelope shaping
• VCA gain cell configured to be driven and impart its own harmonic coloration when pushed by the Level control
• Discrete analog Harmonics circuitry adds musical harmonic color, cohesiveness, and apparent volume to transients
• 2-band shelving EQ with a high shelf for presence and top-end restoration and a low shelf for low-end warmth and body
• Integrated sidechain high-pass filter, low shelf EQ, and 50 Hz low-cut filter with resonance peak for interactive low-end response control
• External sidechain insert for further custom compression shaping
• Integrated blend control for parallel-style processing at any compression depth
• 10-segment LED gain reduction meter
• Universal power supply included with 5-pin XLR connector and US IEC cable
