Black Lion Audio 17 Seventeen FET Compresser
Oakland, NJ, United States
Dial in some attitude. BLA delivers fast attack like the iconic '76 -- plus a frequency-adjustable sidechain, separate high- and low-pass, and wet/dry blend.
Black Lion's Spin on What the '76 Compressor Should Have Been!
Designed with prolific producer/engineer Tobias Lindell, and built in Chicago by Black Lion Audio, the Seventeen compressor is BLA's new, improved take on the classic '76 Limiting Amplifier you know and love!
Lightning-fast attack and release times make the Seventeen your go-to compressor/limiter for everything from gently sitting on peaks, to all-out brickwall limiting. And yes -- it even does the infamous "All Buttons In" mode, notable for its distinctive, punchy attack and fuzzy distortion.
Unlike your run-of-the-mill '76 clone, the Seventeen FET compressor gives you a frequency-adjustable sidechain, independent high-pass and low-pass filter, and a wet/dry blend knob for parallel compression -- so you can keep transients intact while controlling dynamics. With the Seventeen, BLA has taken an already-versatile tone machine, and added even more flexibility.
As you might expect from the painstaking engineers at Black Lion Audio, the Seventeen delivers an open, airy top end and fat lows, thanks to a custom-designed output transformer and IC-based front end, with BLA's proprietary power coupling for a low noise floor.
The BLA Seventeen includes the must-have Stereo Link function that allows you to link two units -- perfect for bus compression on drums, piano, room mics, the full mix, or any other stereo source you care to crush...Oh, and the price point makes it feasible to actually own a pair of these bad boys.
Features:
- Compressor/limiter inspired by the classic '76 -- with a few modern tweaks
- Redesigned, improved IC-based front end for detail and nuance not normally possible with this style of compressor
- Black Lion power decoupling for an incredibly low noise floor
- High-grade nichicon signal capacitors
- Frequency-adjustable sidechain
- Separately selectable high-pass and low-pass filters
- Wet/dry mix knob: blend dry signal into your compressed signal for parallel compression
- Stereo link mode for linking two units
- Made in Chicago
