It is built for character, the antidote to sterile digital, adding weight, punch and that right-in-your-face presence to drums, bus, bass or a whole mix. Stepped controls mean instant recall, the tube stage can boost even harmonics for extra glue, and dual-mono operation lets you treat two sources at once. Spotted in studios from ABBA's Benny Andersson to producers chasing the most exciting compression around. Boutique outboard like this is unheard of used in SA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFET + Tube In One:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast FET compression into a NOS-tube saturation stage for weight and life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn-Your-Face Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to fatten and excite, killer on drums, bus and bass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel Mix Knob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend dry and processed for punch without losing dynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOS Military Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6N2P valves and audiophile components throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStepped Controls + Recall:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated switches with lifetime warranty; perfect session recall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Mono + Sidechain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treat two sources independently, with external sidechain inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineers rave about the Monster 2's FET-plus-tube colour, one Vintage King reviewer calling it \"the most thrilling compressor on the market\" and reaching for it on every drum track. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/looptrotter-audio-monster-compressor-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more at Vintage King.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Looptrotter Monster 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e dual-channel FET compressor \/ limiter with tube saturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSections:\u003c\/strong\u003e FET compressor, tube saturation, dry\/wet mixer (three units in one)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e NOS military-grade 6N2P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e stepped, gold-plated Grayhill switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e stereo or dual-mono, external sidechain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2U rackmount, 230V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-built in Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Looptrotter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49720907432175,"sku":null,"price":44000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/looptrotter-monster-2-1.jpg?v=1781117564","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/looptrotter-monster-2-a-tonka-truck-of-fet-and-tube-compression","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
