Critic Reviews

Aphex 240

soundonsound.com

The Aphex 240 Dual Logic-Gated Easyrider Compressor is a clever blend of gate and compressor that syncs seamlessly, ensuring no conflicts between the two. Its sleek design with minimalistic controls is both a pro and a con — it's user-friendly but lacks some flexibility, such as a bypass button and digital output options. The Easyrider technology shines, making it a robust choice for nuanced vocal and drum recordings, even if the fixed ratio and threshold limit some compression techniques. Though not the ultimate studio staple, its innovative integration of gate and compressor makes it a worthy contender in its price range.
