Golden Age Project Comp-554 MK2 500 Series Compressor
Golden Age Project Comp-554 MK2 500 Series Compressor Reviews
The Golden Age Comp-554 MK2 delivers the same vintage-flavored, 2254-style compression as its predecessor, but it also boasts upgraded knob and switches, plus an even more robust design. Rocking an all-discrete, Class A signal path, the single-channel Comp-554 MK2 is well spec'd with stepped controls, flexible sidechain filter options, stereo linking, Golden Age's AIR circuit, and more. Golden Age also gives you the option of upgrading all three of the Comp-554 MK2's audio transformers (input, output, and interstage) to Carnhill vintage-spec reproductions. At Sweetwater, we're impressed with the Golden Age Comp-554 MK2. We think you will be, too.
A fat compressor!
I bought this knowing what was on the inside, so I expected something fairly nice sounding as a compare of its example. I gotta say, It's dangerously good! At this price, fricken unbeatable!
This thing is truly awesome!
I've sourced this on Bass, Electric Guitar, Kick + Snare, and Vocals.
Literally I've noticed that it shines on pretty much everything!
I understood that this was a 2254 clone but I'm glad to say I think it's a bit more than that for the features you get on this mono compressor. What is also awesome is the way it was built to do insert + external sidechain features.
I have to say this golden age project 554 truly is second to none! It's built like a tank and it sounds great too! I highly recommend it if you're in the 500 series world!
Love the sound !!!
I haven't seen to many reviews about this compressor, so I have decided to do a review of my experience with this Neve 2254 clone. I have this compressor paired with a RND 511 preamp. I absolutely love the sound that these compressor imparts on the sound. BY itself, the RND 511 sound fantastic, but with the Golden Age Comp-554, it sound professional with that polish at the end. Highly recommend this compressor. Golden Age products are second to none.
