Vertigo VSC-2

    The VSC-2 is called the “Quad Compressor” because it uses 4 hand built [discrete]VCAs. The VCA design is called the “1979” as a nod toward the best VCA based compressors of the 70s and 80s often found in classic SSL consoles and classic sounding DBX devices... but that is where the similarity ends!!

Description:

 

 

The VSC-2 is called the “Quad Compressor” because it uses 4 hand built [discrete]VCAs.
