«  Very good compressor! »

Published on 08/04/13 at 04:32
Compressor / Limiter / Gate
19 "1U
Analog
Made in USA

See "Info" tab for some technical details.
Otherwise, there are input / output jack 6.35 or RCA jack and the compressor section 6.35 for the sidechain.
Used in two independent or linked channels (Stereo Link function by pressing a button on the front panel, the settings of one channel are then Master for two voices).

As panel settings were seven knobs per channel

Gate-Threshold (with LED)
-Input Gain
-Compressor Threshold
-Ratio
-Attack
-Release
-Output Gain

Nothing very original ..... :)

Compress a button per channel to compare wet / clean.
The famous Stereo Link button.
6 LED Light Bar (1-3-5-10-15-25dB) for each channel gain reduction.

UTILIZATION

Home studio, compo, live.
Simple configuration.
Takes a little know the basic principles of this impact category, genre to begin what is a compressor, what applications .....
We find a lot of information about the issue, if necessary examples of settings, but experimentation is probably the safest value to understand the subtleties.

I use it for different things.
Guitar, vocals, keyboard, percussion, groovebox ... directly or through a small mixing desk (with / insert).

SOUND QUALITY

I'm not a sound engineer.
This is my first real analog compressor (I have used and still uses some of my DAW with VST, and once I had a little guitar multi-effects zoom 505 ...)
I think the sound is very well restored.
The settings are complete and reasonably accurate.

I guess it's still "small" compressor, but for the price I find it very good.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be two years that I have.
Good stuff, strong, simple but effective.
I do not have enough experience and was able to try others to really be able to compare my small but it suits me perfectly.
I remake that choice without hesitation.
