Excellent near mint shape, hardly used in private home studio.
These are no longer in production and will be getting rare and hard to find. Excellent Fairchild style stereo compressor.
Recreating the classic 660, AnaMod-style
- Classic Variable-Mu compression profile and vintage tone - Six 660 time constants plus two vocal-friendly variations
- All analog - no latency or conversion
- Single-space 500 series rack format
The Fairchild 660 limiter is arguably one of the most famous and sought-after compressors ever made. The magical way it adds density and dimension to a track or a mix has been demonstrated on many of the best-sounding records made in the last 50 years.
The AM660 is a faithful recreation of the classic sound and compression profile of the 660, using the AnaMod™ process to model the complex tube circuitry of the 660 and implement it entirely in the analog domain. Unlike a digital plug-in or processor based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound.
