The VCA is the heart of this unit and all audio passes thru it. This service is an additional $70 normally is a really nice add-on that softens the knee when compressing and delivers lower artifacts when compressing heavy which is why we recommend it with every mod we do on vintage DBX compressors.
Our new Germanium Limiter modifications smooth out the distortion considerably when limiting making it excellent for Drums and any other application where you want some cool Germanium limiter Mojo.
This unit has our Burr Brown input and output stage modifications as well as power supply modifications.
The service increases the headroom of the unit, widens the frequency response and increases the detail across the entire audio image.
