Having API's The Channel Strip is like having an entire API console channel in your rack. This all-discrete channel features a 512C mic pre and DI, 550A 3-band EQ, and 527 compressor to let you fine tune any sound with the amazing punch and clarity for which API is known. What's more, each section of The Channel Strip has its own patch points on the rear panel, letting you use the preamp, EQ, and compressor on separate tracks.
