Drawmer 1978 Stereo Tone Shaping FET Compressor – Very Good Condition

For sale is a Drawmer 1978 Stereo Tone Shaping FET Compressor in very good condition. The unit is fully functional and has been well cared for in a professional studio environment.

The Drawmer 1978 is an exceptionally versatile dual-channel/stereo FET compressor that combines classic analog compression with extensive tone-shaping capabilities. It can deliver everything from subtle transparent dynamics control to aggressive, character-rich compression, making it equally useful for tracking, mixing, and stereo bus applications.

One of the standout features of the 1978 is its Wet/Dry Mix control, allowing parallel compression to be achieved directly from the unit. The Side Chain Tilt EQ provides additional control over how the compressor responds to different frequencies, while the Big and Air controls allow the low and high-frequency character of the processed signal to be shaped without requiring additional outboard EQ.

Features include:

• Dual-channel/stereo FET compression
• Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Gain controls
• Wet/Dry Mix for parallel compression
• Side Chain Tilt EQ
• Big control for retaining and enhancing low-frequency weight
• Air control for adding high-frequency presence and openness
• Stereo Link operation
• LED gain-reduction metering
• Fully analog signal path
• Balanced professional connections

This is an excellent compressor for drum bus, mix bus, guitars, bass, keyboards, vocals, and stereo program material. It is particularly effective when you want compression that adds energy and character without sacrificing the weight and openness of the original signal.

The unit is in very good cosmetic condition with normal signs of careful use and operates exactly as it should.

A great opportunity to add a highly flexible, professional-quality Drawmer analog compressor to your studio.
