FLORENCE 1176 Optical Compressor

FLORENCE 1176 Optical Compressor

465,00

FLORENCE is inspired by 1176, one of the most famous studio compressors of the 60s; we have redesigned and evolved to offer surprising sounds and characteristics combined with compact dimensions. Florence is fully analog, equipped with a 12AU7 tube which guarantees one sound with a lot of headroom. The compressor is equipped with optocoupler controlled by a special stage that allows the functionality of: Compressor, Limiter and Sustainer. The naturalness of sound is its virtue thanks to the possibility of correcting the equalization with the “Tone”, also in extreme ratio conditions. The magic eye (VU) with the peak led displays the working conditions of the compressor, allowing easier use of the pedal. One of the peculiarities of the compressors designed by the “GURU” is to increase the “clean threshold” level. In this way we get an explosive, energetic and dynamically controllable sound by our touch.
