Selling my Vintage Audio / Revive Audio MSL-Mk2 stereo VCA bus compressor. Excellent condition and works perfectly. Handmade in the USA.
This thing sits on top of a mix like nobody’s business. It really does the classic SSL-style “glue” thing, especially well on pop and rock, while staying clean and punchy. The switchable sidechain high-pass filter is particularly useful for keeping big kick drums and bass from clamping down on the rest of the mix.
The MSL-Mk2 uses four THAT VCAs (two per channel) along with Burr-Brown op amps for a clean signal path. This is the standard transformerless MSL-Mk2 version.
Features:
- Ratios: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1
- Attack: 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 10, 30 ms
- Release: 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.2 sec, Auto

Selling only because I’m changing my studio setup.
