Bluey 500 is the 500-series version of the lauded Black Lion Audio Bluey. The original \u201cBluey\u201d is Chris Lord-Alge\u2019s not-so-secret weapon; the heavily-modified 2U compressor to the stars that\u2019s been heard on countless hits. Having undergone years of odd fixes, modifications, and upgrades, the original Bluey was a singular and unique piece of studio unobtainium \u2014 until Black Lion Audio got their mitts and voltmeters on it.<\/p>\n
After working with Chris to reverse-engineer untold years\u2019 worth of mods, component replacements, and upgrades, Black Lion Audio was able to make the legendary Bluey sound available to the world with the introduction of the original 2U Bluey compressor. Of course, they added a few features along the way without sacrificing what makes Bluey what it is.<\/p>\n
Black Lion firmly believe that everybody deserves a li\u2019l Bluey in their life, so they\u2019re proud to bring the world another li\u2019l Bluey \u2014 the Bluey 500 \u2014 ready to add that unmistakable blue-striped mojo to your 500-series rack. You get all the squeeze, heft, and grit of the original Bluey in just two 500-series slots \u2014 a fraction of the original\u2019s footprint.<\/p>\n

New features, new sounds.<\/b><\/p>\n
To get the exacting detail that Chris Lord-Alge has enjoyed from the original Bluey, Black Lion not only used custom Cinemag transformers, they actually recreated his console\u2019s insert path and built it right into Bluey \u2014 giving everyone the same console feel!<\/p>\n
Of course, they didn\u2019t stop there: Black Lion also added an active wet\/dry mix for easy parallel compression, as well as a stereo link!<\/p>\n
Bluey 500 was designed with a vintage-inspired PCB layout, 1% resistors, and polyester capacitors \u2014 meaning that Bluey 500 is built to last! And like all Black Lion products, Bluey 500 is hand-tested, calibrated and QC\u2019d in the USA.<\/p>\n
