The magic of Chris Lord-Alge’s favourite Blue Stripe limiter – recreated. The Black Lion Audio Bluey is a single-channel FET limiting amplifier based on “Bluey”, the special 1176 Blue Stripe unit of mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge. It uses custom Cinemag transformers, recreates his console insert path, and adds a wet/dry mix and stereo link.
