Fat 1 is a full analog compressor lamp. The inputs / outputs are 6.35 jack: One (stereo) input instrument front / line inputs and outputs on the rear panel.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is very simple, you select easily one of 15 presets (vocals / bass / keys / guitar / kick / snare / mix / etc ...) via a large selector knob, it switches to manual mode via the same knob.
The manual mode allows adjustment of the ratio and the compression threshold via two knobs and attack, the release and the type of Knee via buttons has two positions. (Slow-fast / hard-soft).
The knobs input gain, output gain and gain make up are the ones (obviously) active on presets and manual mode.
Two other buttons are present on the front: one to enable / disable compression (useful for comparing) and the other to select the source of the VU meter (output level or gain reduction).
In short, a configuration and a very simple and effective to use as little is known to use a compressor.
SOUND QUALITY
The adjective that probably the least this compressor is transparency!
Saw his name it would also have guessed my taste and it is not evil, you just know what to expect! The sound is warm and fat as said earlier, they compress very little bit like me a lot and I like it. I had the opportunity to use on electro acoustic guitars or basses as the master of Acid Techno tracks or hip hop beats ...
In my opinion this compressor is more an effect of style of processing or processing sound. Once this in mind, we have fun with it!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about 8 months, I have tried many other analog compress but little lamp.
The point that I like least is without hesitation his non-rack size (ie it has a little brother who is her rack). It is a priori trivial point but it makes integration a little more awkward ...
The thing I love most: Well it makes me laugh that little compressor, we quickly arrive at the result rather exaggerated ... (Hence the fact that I consider the effect of style)
Having bought used I find the quality / very good value, especially as I probably would have not turned to this device if it was not a friend who sold it!
Pleasantly surprised!
