For sale, one of the classics (an original, not the reissue, if that matters), a wonderful and easy to use tube compressor, the Retropec Squeeze Box.
$450 shipped CONUS
Squeeze Box Features:
-High Voltage, all tube, transformerless design
-Classic, studio quality optical compression
-Hi impedance input to get the most out of your instrument
-Tube buffered 1/4” output
-Mic level balanced xlr output
-Internal linear power supply for stability and reliability
-Gain, threshold, and ratio control, with independently activateable passive eq circuit
-Noiseless switching between compression and dry signal
-Solid Aluminum chassis construction
Tech Specs:
Controls- Gain, threshold (W/ switchable pads), ratio, eq (independently activateable)
Frequency response-10Hz-40KHz +/-1dB
Noise Floor- > -72dBu active @ Full Gain, > -90dBu inactive
Input Impedance- 2.5M
Gain- +20dBu
Inputs-1/4” TS
Outputs-Tube buffered 1/4” TS, XLR
Operating Voltage-120/240VAC Switchable
Warning: it will not, necessarily, make you sound like Dave Holland, even if you run an Underwood pickup through a GK MB150 with a Hartke 4x10 extension cab. But it can get you close.
