I'm a keyboardist, and I love guitar pedals, but I often overdrive them because they are designed for a passive instrument.

by CloudCuckoolandStudio from MA.
This is a great piece often overlooked in ART's line of affordable compressors. The tube sound is rich and full. Not brash and think like some other under$100.00 dollar Pre/Compressors. It excells on ... read more [+]Direct bass, great on dobro and mandos etc.. for that real heavy "Steve Earle" sort of sound. Also puts some nice warmth or distortion on voice. It is killer for that! Drum room mics squashed with the limiter, beautiful. I have pres from $50 to $3000.00, this one rate extremely high on my list of hidden jems! close [-]

I impr... read more [+]oved the tone greatly by replacing the stock russian tube with an old 1950's american tube I scavenged from a reel to reel.

by Marc from NYC, NY
Decent out of the box, but excellent with a fine old Telefinken ECC83/12AX7.

Record at 32 bit float and process later. Also, keep drive level on the low side to prevent distortion. Easy to add a touch of EQ to give it a sound that rivals pres costing $thousands. Does the job and sounds very good. Well worth the money and does an excellent job and is very quiet with a top quality tube in the preamp stage. (the other tube, for the compressor, doesn't interest me.) close [-] Also popular
