Preamps

Best Smooth Valve Tube Pre EVER!

Smooth Tube Vocals (Bruce Swedien's Favorite) Michael Jackson, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Count Bassie, Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington etc

Huge Open Transformer Impedance

Tight Hard Transformer Impedance

5 Huge differences in Tube Gain - can sound as Clean as a Modern 'Solid' State of The Art R&B/Pop Vocal Record or Huge Tube Classic of 1960's Frank Sinatra Sound

Best Rock DI old school with nice crunch on bottom end (Eddie Van Halen's Favorite Classic DI)

Pultec Style Eq is Handy in any Basic way

Hands down the Best 'Svelt' Type Tube Pre Unit ever made

Patchbays

Effects Processors

The Sweetest Cleanest most Modern Type Vocal of all the Worlds most Famous & used Vocal Compressor

The 1176 is the Best Clean Vocal Compressor you can get for nice control (Ballad Vocal) for that Classic Old School sound or still use on a State of the Art Modern Record

That's why Bruce Swedien always used this on Michael Jackson's Lead Vocals more than any other its also the exact model they seek out when its a classic ballad for a Celine Dion or Mariah Carey

The First A Revision (Blue Stripe) excels at Dirty Bass or Vintage Vocal etc - Black Version best all round but this last rarest model is the cleanest Sweetest of them all & can still hold its own an the Cleanest Modern Record & Not Sound Dated (Compressor OFF or less than -3dB of Compression GR)...

It SMASHES like a MOFO so well its the most 'Rounded' of Compressors for BASS (Industry Standard) & that 1980's Smashed Drum Sound (Roxette etc) All Buttons IN for Psychopathy

Not as Thickening as a LA2A or Pumpy as a DBX 160 or as Huge as a Fairchild - But for all the above it's Always #1
