Two classic compressors in one box – a ’76-style FET and a ‘2A-style optical. The Black Lion Audio B172A combines the Seventeen FET compressor with Black Lion’s take on the ‘2A tube optical compressor, in one 2U chassis. Use them separately, in series in either order, or as dual mono.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
Vocal producers, mix engineers and studios that want both FET and optical colour without buying two units.
