Description
Type: Vintage Dynamics Processor Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Brand: MXR


Hello! For sale is a very rare dynamics processor, an MXR Compressor/Expander. The unit is from the '70s complete with wooden sides and a warm, vintage sound!This compressor is so rare it basically doesn't exist. :) I'm joking a bit, but the point is that you rarely see these for sale as they seem to be among the most obscure compressors out there. It has a unique sound character that only vintage '70s gear can have!The compressor has a L+R input and L+R output. It uses RCA-style jacks so it's ready to go in any modern studio. There are 2 buttons, a Suppress button and an Expand button, and 3 knobs - Threshold, Level and Ratio. This unit was kept in a smoke-free environment and it appears to be fully functional. Being that is a vintage item and I am not an expert on '70s MXR compressors it is being sold as-is. There are minor blemishes but overall it is in very nice cosmetic condition. The one cosmetic issue it has is that the front half of the left wood panel pulls apart from the unit a bit. I just keep a piece of tape holding the panel in place in the front. This does not affect the function of the unit at all and otherwise there are no other issues, cosmetic or functional.Shipping is $50 in the continental U.S. The item will be professionally packaged by UPS and shipped with full insurance and tracking information. International shipping is available, but please message me for a direct quote.Use this chance to grab an obscure vintage piece of gear for that dusty, old-school sound!10% of the sale will also go to helping animals at the ASPCA, since my family and I are big animal lovers! :)Thanks for looking and have a great day!
