API 225L Discrete Compressor Flangers

API 225L Discrete Compressor FlangersBoth NEW ("feed forward") and OLD ("feed back") methods are selectable on the front panel, providing two choices of gain reduction. NEW gain reduction is typical of the newer VCA type compressors that rely on RMS detectors for the gain control voltage. OLD or Feed Back method is what most of the classic compressors used for the gain control circuit There also is a SOFT or HARD selector. SOFT provides a more subtle compression resulting in a very
