The original compressors included several seemingly unnoticeable features that played a huge role in their success. A special side chain filter circuit provides low noise and high boost to the compressor’s detector circuit, ensuring it will respond to the most important parts of the mixture that many other compressors ignore. “Live” and “feedback” options let you work in a more modern or vintage style, while variable stereo link control allows the mixers to determine exactly how much the left and right channels should communicate with each other.
Modern rock sound in a box!
While the SBC will shine in any genre, it’s a must-have tool for rock mixers who want to add a bit of frank and aggressive character to their main mix, sub-groups and standalone tracks. It’s the sound you’ve heard on countless of your favorite contemporary rock releases over the past two decades. This is an analog buss compressor for the 21st century, now 100% ITB.
