Vintage Ashly SC - 50 Blueface Peak Limiter Compressor: Modded, Recapped
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:719999 |
These things are real workhorses as-is, but I really love this modded one (no studio space anymore, so all the gear is going).
In addition to being recapped, this unit got upgraded op-amps and a hi-pass option on the detection circuit, not unlike that found on some API units. Essentially, when the switch is up and the LED illuminated, the detector ignores low-end frequency (below ~800Hz if I recall). The result is that the sound still gets squeezed, but there's no diminishment... of bass. INCREDIBLE on electric bass, for example.
