Notes: HARDWARE 500-series module (mono), condensed from the Tweaker 19in rack compressor per Kush's own copy ('condensed from the TWEAKER 19 rackmount compressor'). No corresponding standalone software plugin found for this specific model (distinct from the Model TWK plugin, which is modeled on the Tweaker rack unit, not Tweezer). THD spec (0.003% min-10% max) also found via third-party source, not Kush's page - flagged. year_intro 2022 based on Gearspace 'Kush announces Tweezer 500-Series Contouring Compressor' thread (July 2022). price_usd is current MSRP on thehouseofkush.com.
