Classic Variable-Mu compression
Six original 660 time constants plus two new variations
Authentic vintage tone
All analog—no latency or digital conversions
Single space 500 series module
The Fairchild 660 limiter is one of the most famous and sought-after compressors ever made. The magical way it adds density and dimension to a track or a mix has been demonstrated on many of the best-sounding records made in the last 50 years. Using the AnaMod Process™ to model the complex transformer and tube interactions of the vintage hardware and re-implementing it entirely with analog components, the AnaMod 660 delivers a faithful recreation of the classic unit`s sound and compression action. Unlike digital plug-ins or DSP-based outboard gear, there`s no latency and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound.
