Derived from the legendary 2254 diode-bridge circuit, with hand-wound transformers and a discrete output stage, the 33609 is the sound of \"glue\", the thing that takes a sterile digital mix and makes it sound like a record. Independent compressor and limiter sections, each with their own stepped controls (so recall and stereo matching are effortless), ratios from a transparent 1.5:1 to an attitude-laden 6:1, and that unmistakable Neve weight and warmth. This is the discrete \/C version, the one many engineers chase. Neve outboard like this almost never comes up used in South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Desert-Island Compressor:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bus comp a huge swathe of top engineers would keep above all others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2254-Derived Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diode-bridge gain reduction and hand-wound transformers for that Neve glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressor and Limiter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully independent sections, each with its own threshold, attack and recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStepped Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switched pots for perfect stereo matching and instant session recall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5:1 to 6:1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent gel or full-attitude squash, plus auto-recovery options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete \/C Version:\u003c\/strong\u003e The sought-after discrete output variant; superb on the mix bus, drums and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENRE \/ USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe desert-island bus compressor.
