So what you get is a Fairchild or a Pultec which is brand new although it will have a traditional warm 'tube' sound when overdriven, just like the originals. “New valve (tube) equipment actually has a really nice 'clean' and 'open' sound (when its not overdriven). “ Some emulations will attempt to add 'warmth' and 'grunge' that comes from components that are now 40 - 50 years old, whereas what I've set out to do is to capture the 'essence' of what made these units great *originally*.”
It literally reframed the audio dynamics hardware industry by aurally portraying itself as the only device, up to its time, that was capable of operating without thumps, distortion and noise. Difficult to distort, and fast as the merry tales, the famed Fairchild 670 was technically the very first “Modern” compressor. It’s the stuff that legendary sound is made of.
The 670 was, and certainly still is, an indulgent synergy of tubes and copper-wound balanced-transformers.
Ah, the warmth and goodness of two independent compressor/limiting amps heating up and bearing down on a poor, unsuspecting audio signal.
