Harness the power of lookahead to control and tame even the unruliest peaks. The Harrison Lookahead Compressor  uses a feed-forward design with built-in signal preview to deliver sub-millisecond attack times that no ‘standard’ compressor can match. Its “Zero-History” release keeps dynamics transparent and artifact-free, giving you instant peak taming, crystal-clear punch, expanded headroom, and surgical precision on everything from aggressive acoustic guitar tracks, snappy drum hits to final masters.

Place it on individual mics to lock in levels, sculpt loops and maximise synth parts in production. Glue drum buses and tame vocal spikes in mixing, or finalize masters with a fast, light touch that never misses a peak, with Harrison Lookahead Compressor.
