True bypass removes the compressor from the chain entirely. In addition to the classic “GR Off” which disables gain reduction but still passes the signal through the entire audio path, the FET/500 also features a true bypass switch. The gain reduction meter provides a far more accurate display of gain reduction, attack, and release, than even the highest quality analog meters. The dual meter circuit displays both gain reduction metering (top) and +4 output metering (bottom) with a +16dBu peak indicator. It also features a 2:1 compression mode which has become our favorite. The FET/500 features all the classic ratios including All Buttons In (SLAM) mode. This is true classic compression without compromise. The circuit is left unaltered and the full sized transformers are used. The FET/500 is the same FET Compressor found in the MNATS rack version sold at Hairball Audio. The FET/500 series of analog FET Compressors is available exclusively through Hairball Audio. Mako has years of PCB layout experience and spent six years developing the FET/500 concept. The circuit was adapted into 500 series format by Mako Natsume. Finally, the circuit has been faithfully recreated in 500 series format maintaining its classic sound, fully discrete audio path, while adding new features. I'll also need to send the buyer the instructions directly.The FET/500 series of ANALOG compressors is based on the famous 2U rack compressors designed in the early 60’s. So I know with the 2 different kit types this is a little tricky, so probs best to message me first before pulling the trigger, so we can make sure we get everything priced out properly. Both of these are pictured too.Īll and all if you know your way around a soldering iron, this is a bananas deal.
You can buy replacement parts from the website above, and that would more than be covered by the lowered price im selling these for. if someone handier than I wants to fix them up, they'll be a bargain. They look right, but don't pass signal, probs something simple I messed up. I'll obviously also email the instructions I received.ĪLSO FOR SALE ARE THE 2 KITS I UNSUCCESSFULLY BUILT for $200 ($100 each).
All the parts are in the box pictured, if any of the small pieces got dropped along the way, the $50 Im knocking of the price of each more than cover that. Now I'm in Grad school and I dont have time to build these, or fix the other 2.įOR SALE ARE THE 2 COMPLETE KITS I DID NOT BUILD - new, these are just over $200 each, but Im selling BOTH for $300 (so, 150 each). They are supposed to be among the easiest builds but I'm embarassed to say, I screwed up 2 of the 4 that I bought. You can check our the full info at the classic api site (Non-litz, variable gain)
They are DIY kits that contain all the parts that you complete. These are designed to model vintage console pres. For sale are 2 CAPI vp26 KITS ready to be built.
