Furman LC-6 FET compressor

Furman LC-6 FET compressor-gate.

This compressor works in EU with 220V mains.

No scratchy potentiometers, looks good and works very well.

Key Features & Design

• FET Compression: Utilizes field-effect transistor (FET) technology to deliver a lively, punchy, and occasionally gritty sound.
• Controls: Features straightforward knobs for Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release, alongside a dedicated Threshold control for the gate section.
• Metering: Includes an 8-segment LED gain reduction meter for clear visual feedback on dynamics processing.
• Utility Options: Contains a ground lift to prevent hum and offers side-chain capabilities.

Sonic Performance & Reputation

• Character: It is widely considered a "secret weapon" or "monster tone box" for adding color and grit to mixes. Users on Gearspace often note its likeness to an 1176, though slightly less polished and more "unruly".
• Best Uses: It truly shines on parallel drum busses, room mics, and mono drum machines. Its aggressive character can add "wack" or smash transients in a way that is highly sought after for dirty, lo-fi, or highly saturated effects.

Selling as is, no returns.
