The FG-116 Blue Series is a meticulous emulation of the vintage "rev A" FET limiting amplifiers, offering both classic and modern tones. Enhanced with features like hi-pass detection and a parallel mix knob, it's a versatile tool that brings the iconic compression character to your mixes.
The FG-116 Blue Series faithfully recreates the tone of two vintage "rev A" FET limiting amplifiers, encapsulating the classic 'mid-forward' character and warm presence that made these units indispensable in the analog era. The vintage circuits add a unique coloration to the upper midrange, making it ideal for vocals, bass, drums, and guitars.
Besides the vintage tones, the FG-116 provides modernized versions of the classic FET circuit. These modern circuits are designed with slower attack times and more breathable and punchy bottom end, making them suitable for a variety of contemporary mixing applications including close drum mics, bass guitars, drum busses, and even full mixes.
The inclusion of a Mix control simplifies parallel compression techniques, allowing you to dial in heavy compression while blending it with the dry signal to retain dynamic punch. This feature, coupled with the Hi Pass filter that allows the compressor to ignore low frequencies, provides a powerful and flexible compression solution for modern production needs.
With its array of vintage and modern circuits, the FG-116 Blue Series is a valuable asset for treating a variety of sources in your mix. Whether you're looking to add warmth to vocals, punch to drums, or control dynamics on a full mix, this compressor can adapt to the demands of your audio production workflow.
