Tone and Sustain with “Plug and Play” Performance "Parallel compression" is the solution; a Barber© innovation that is more natural than dealing with attack, ratio and release knobs. A unique, continuous “blend control” circuit combined it with a discrete “Class A” FET mixer. Allows continuous blending of the natural signal with a “phase-corrected” classic compression circuit. Unaltered attack with supernatural sustain and resonance. The blend control offers 100% dry to 100% compression mix, so you are not limited to only "50/50" (half blend). Some of the best parallel compression sounds are achieved with very high sustain settings and more than 50% dry-blend. There's little point to a parallel compressor than can only take you half way there! 2 additional toggles: one for "Speed", which adds a new "fast" mode; perfect for percussive playing without loss of attack. There is also a "Brilliance" toggle which adds a very subtle and polished sheen to the treble frequencies. In mint condition: cosmetic and functional. $125 include USPS Priority shipping with original box. PayPal's OK but no embarrassing low-ball offers or trades please. {}
Purchased a couple of months ago. Fully tested but never gigged. I've tried them all and this was the very best.
