dans les années 90, la course au "Gros Son "tait de mise pour certaines radio, comme Skyrock ou radio Service en France.
Nous étions encore à l'ere du tout analogique, lecteurs, console, traitement, émetteurs et récepteurs a aiguilles...
quand on changeait de frequence, on tournait le bouton et il fallait tout de suite pouvoir reconnaitre la radio sur laquelle on tombait rien qu'en entendant son traitement....

C'est ainsi qu'est né le VZ40.
4 compresseurs de-esseurs DPR 402, sur 4 bandes . Parfois des Prism avant
ca partait vers l'emeteur au travers d'un Stereomax et un 8100 pour elargir et coder la stereo

C'etait le bon temps...
et ca tapait fort !

J'ai essayé de reconstituer ce son avec Stereotool.
ca y ressemble un peu...

The preset is excellent. Well done. Just make sure to translate the description in the first post into English.

In the 90s, the race for "Big Sound" was on for some radio stations, like Skyrock or Radio Service in France.
We were still in the era of all things analog: players, consoles, processing, transmitters and receivers with needles...
when you changed frequencies, you turned the dial and you had to be able to immediately recognize the station you were tuning to just by hearing its processing...

That's how the VZ40 was born.
Four DPR 402 compressors/de-essers, on four bands. Sometimes Prism processors were used beforehand, and the signal
went to the transmitter through a Stereomax and an 8100 to widen and encode the stereo image.

Those were the days...
and it hit hard!

I tried to recreate that sound with Stereotool.
It's somewhat similar...
