Manley Variable Mu ReviewsSweetwater Advice
Jeff Hollman
The Vari-Mu is a modern classic, and for good reason! I love that way it sounds on the master bus of a mix... the compression helps to glue the mix together and makes everything sound "finished." With three tubes and two transformers per channel, nothing quite sounds as good to me on a rock or pop mix like a Manley Vari-Mu.

This is a great smooth compressor. Try it on a 2-bus or with a pair of drum overheads... it's not like any other compessor you own.
Customer Reviewsfrom NYC June 17, 2006 Music Background: Singer-Songwriter-Producer A Modern Classic!I don`t own the Vari Mu but I have had the extreme pleasure of working with it. This is the desert island compressor we all would want. Just one listen and you`ll know why. The Vari Mu works beautifully on the overall mix but it really shines on anything. What impresses me the most about this box is how much you don`t hear it. Its so good you will swear its not working but you know it sounds better. The first time I used it I pretty much slammed the ratio as hard as I could just to hear some compression. The ratio was something like 20:1. I know its insane but thats my point! |
