Pulsar Modular – P252 MDN Diode v1.0.3 for WiN

Mark Daniel Nelson and Pulsar Modular have teamed up again to create a stunning new plugin. Seeking unique studio gear with a rich history, Mark acquired this extremely rare 2252 from a former technician at the famed Wessex Studios in London. The incredibly renowned studio produced many of the punk albums of the 1970s and 1980s by artists like The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Pretenders, Queen, and many others. This 2252 has witnessed it all. 

A 1968 Neve model, briefly produced before germanium gave way to silicon, it stood for decades in the studio where music history was made. After nearly two years of development, Pulsar Modular and Mark Daniel Nelson have created one of the most unique compressors on the market. What was initially considered unusable has become an integral part of the sound of Attitude, Aggression, and Power.

Following on from my previous releases of the P455 MDN Sidecar and P821 MDN Tape plugins, I’d like to take another trip down memory lane to share my story and passion for sounds in music.

It all started over 26 years ago when I became fascinated with the magic and individuality of sound, and the question of why some albums sound powerful and unique, while others sound more intimate and organic.

In my search for unique studio gear with a rich history, I discovered that many things remain unchanged. Sometimes it’s a piece of history, like the studio gear used to record a landmark album. Sometimes it’s something very familiar and easily accessible. My passion has always been for unique equipment—things that are incredibly rare both in design and in quantity. Secret weapons.
