![]() It is possible to independently bypass both compression sections and have your signal go through the input transformer and transformer selector only.The optical section has a hard-wired bypass that completely removes it from the signal path, and the Class-A VCA compressor is also hardwire bypassable, completely removing it from the chain. ![]() ![]() These selections allow you to choose between different output transformers that are in effect: clean, colored, and dirty, respectively.The last transformer position is Steel.In this mode the signal goes through our op-amp and into a Class-A output stage then to our custom Iron transformers. The first position is Nickel, which is our custom version of a famous L.Lastly the signal goes through our new Shadow Hills custom transformer-switching network.There is an insert-able filter in the side chain to limit pumping with bass heavy material.And there are six release times selectable.There are six ratios: 1.2 to 1, 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 6 to 1, and 10 to 1.There are no electrolytic caps or IC chips in the audio path. The second stage is our discrete Class-A VCA compressor.This section utilizes the same T4B optical attenuator as the LA2A and LA3A, but is optimized for mastering. The input stage is transformer balanced, followed by our fully discrete optical compressor.So here are the specs for this heavy baby (from VK website): Alright, so here I am finally writing this review or the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor for my man Necola!
