Stam Audio SA4000 MKII British Mod

Description

The SA4000 MK2 Stereo Buss Compressor is the most authentic recreation of the bus compressor found in the center section of the legendary G Series Console. An overwhelming favorite among mix engineers, the G Comp has very likely shaped more hit records than any other over the past three decades. Strap it across your 2-bus and hear your mix get punchier, bigger, more powerful, and glued together with unmatched cohesiveness. The SA4000 MK2 Stereo Buss Compressor gives you the same famous character, compression behavior, and frequency response as the original. And it does it at a fraction of the price.


The “British” mod adds two Carnhill output transformers used on the output section of the 1073MPA preamp and channel strip making it the perfect way to add low end and effortlessly warm up a mix.
