3 Iconic Compressors Working In Parallel
The main section of the channel strip is comprised of three compressors
- Retro: Models the Fairchild 670, Godfather of Tube Compressors good for warmth!
- Main: Models Classic FET compressor UREI 1176 which is known for catching and taming transients.
- Heavy: Custom-built hybrid (UA76/CL1B) Compressor.
Adjusting the amount of compressor is as simple as adjusting the ‘amount’ knob, there’s no attack, threshold, or release to fiddle with. Moreover, the compressors can be mixed and matched allowing you to daily in clarity, fullness, grit, etc.
Analog EQ Section (Simple Controls)
Body: Low-end frequency control
Presence: Mid-range control of frequencies
Air: Top-end or High-frequency control
Which can be placed pre or post the compressor.
Sweetening FX
Includes 2 Delays, Reverbs and Modulation FX.
Output Section
Here’s where overall color, tone, saturation, and mix (dry/wet) can be dialed in to taste. What makes this channel strip great is the ability to dial in a mix quickly with one plugin as opposed to loading up several.
