Picture
  • All valve signal path and side chain, point to point hand wired in England.
  • Subtle control with "soft knee" compression, but more compression effects when pushed hard.
  • Continuously variable attack, release and threshold controls.
  • Stereo link for mix buss compression.
  • Side chain filters to enable compression of all frequencies except bass.
  • Flat frequency response over full audio range and beyond.
  • Very low phase shift and harmonic distortion (unless pushed hard).
  • Push-pull design gives a natural warm sound with high output level.
  • Output trim controls for fine adjustment or lower level operation.
  • Balanced ins and outs with custom made Sowter transformers.
  • Bypass switch on each channel removes all electronics.
  • Standby switch to prolong valve life.
  • Distortion effects can be created with Standby on.
