The BG 1 compressor
This compressor is a classic tube vari mu type. The point of this compressor was to improve on a few Altec EMI RS 124 compressors made for the studio, and add in some stuff done on our custom UA 176 compressor I made. The compressor has Input, Output, Release time and Feedback switch. There are 6 release times as in the RS 124 that I liked, the feedback switch lets you turn off the feedback circuit. This make the compressor act pretty different, more like an Altec 436, with the feedback in, its a whole different more hifi thing.
These are custom made, and things can be added, like attack time, or variable release time, even threshold, based on what you want. As long as parts last, vintage UTC transformers are used, NOS American tubes are used as well. Email for more info.
ALSO:
Dual channel mastering version also available with Shallco attenuators, Elma gold switches and high performance Sowter transformers.
