| Notes | fast FET‑based design brightens the tone and adds extra edge and excitement in a way that has made it a fixture on vocals for many top engineers for a half‑century.
It uses a FET for gain reduction, in a feedback configuration.
Four different compression ratios are available 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and, 20:1
Attack time is adjustable from less than 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds
Release times are adjustable from 50 ms to 1,100 ms
Two units can be linked for proper stereo operation (not just dual mono) |
