The 576 Blue Stripe is a revised version of the classic FET compressor. <\/p>\n
What it is<\/p>\n
The FET-type solution was first used for its application in the legendary UREI 1176 compressor from the 70s. The most important feature inspired by revision A is the input transformer used and pure class A output stage. The compressor is equipped with a relay bypass, 2:1 Ratio and Slam Mode accessible on the front panel.<\/p>\n
\u201ctrue peak limiter with all transistor circuitry and superior performance on all types of material\u00bb <\/p>\n
What it does<\/p>\n
The 576 BS\u2019s major selling point is its ultra-fast attack time \u2014 20 \u00b5S. The 576 BS Ratio buttons allow four different modes of operation: 2:1 Ratio (soft compression); 4:1 ratio (moderate compression); 8:1 ratio (severe compression); 12:1 ratio (mild limiting); 20:1 ratio (hard limiting); S \u2013 SLAM, All Buttons In trick mode.<\/p>\n
SLAM Mode can definitely give a male or female rock vocal track an in-your-face sound that you can\u2019t get anywhere else. <\/p>\n
