Description UPC: Does not apply
This is an old tube compressor from the 60's. It does use the 6386 tube, which was used in the Fairchild 660 and Gate Sta Level. This unit has been recapped. Some resistors may need changing and may need tube replacements as well. The unit works presently but may need bench time to get this unit functioning to your preference. There is a threshold and attack and release added, but one could add any time constants one would want.
It has a triad input transformer and a big output transformer.
It has a very big sound on drums, vocals, bass and guitar.Excellent for parallel compression or master buss compression. This tube compressor is a lot like a Gate Sta Level as it has 2 12AU7's on output rather than 6V6's. Very cool sounding and very rare with great transformers.
