70's style, Class A, dual transformer, stereo compressor with switched controls, multiple frequency selections for the sidechain HPF and ratio range better suited for mastering
American Jensen transformers for a clean uncolored sound
British made Sowter transformers for extra rich musical harmonics
5 position step rotary switch on Attack, Release and Ratio
Continuously variable adjustment on Threshold and Output gain
Analog VU meter is switchable for: input and output plus gain reduction
All front panel controls pots and switches are extremely high grade quality
Nearly identical to the Liminator 2 with added switched controls, multiple frequency selections for the sidechain bass cut and different ratio range more suited to mastering
