The 7X-500VIN "Vintage Edition" compressor packages the sound of one of the most popular compressors of all time into a convenient and remarkably affordable API 500 Series rack module. This late '60s-style FET compressor/limiter may be small, but it still manages to pack all of the useful functionality you could ask for inside. There's a a highpass sidechain filter in the 7X-500VIN, which lets you focus its response, and a mix knob lets you blend its wet and dry signals to taste.

Features:
• FET-based technology that sounds eerily reminiscent of classic compressors from the late '60s
• Variable mix control lets you blend compressed and uncompressed signal in parallel for maximum compression without losing transients
• 3-step switched attack and release times make dialing in the perfect dynamics easy
• 3-mode (off, 100Hz, and 300Hz) highpass sidechain filter lets you focus your dynamics
• Choose from mild 4:1, heavy 12:1, and "all-in" 100:1 compression ratios
• True-bypass hardware preserves your sound when bypassed
• 20-LED gain-reduction metering lets you keep an eye on the mix
• 2x Vintage OPA1731
