Review of the SB4001 by Grammy Award Winning Producer / Composer / Engineer William "Bill" Pearson:

" I was excited to try the SB4001. The buzz on the street was that it was a fantastic buss compressor that went the extra mile - and beyond. I was expecting greatness and it did not disappoint. I had been on the hunt for a flexible 2 buss compressor for quite some time. Right from the outset, the build quality was impressive, but from the moment I inserted it into my analog 2 buss chain, I knew I'd be keeping it. The mix I was already working on instantly became much "larger" and the glue factor was off the hook. Actually, a touch TOO "off the hook" for my personal mixing aesthetic, and that's where the blend control came in. Backing off to around 40% wet made all the difference for me. This mix still needed to be dynamic and breath and the 4001 did just what it took to make the mix simultaneously pop while still retaining dynamics. Awesome!! How did I live without this guy?? There is so much this thing can do, and it's so versatile, I don't expect to be removing it from my 2 buss chain anytime soon. Thanks Mike for making me look great with such an awesome box!!! "
