A modern take on the classic ’76 FET limiter – clean when gentle, colourful when pushed. The Black Lion Audio Seventeen is a single-channel FET limiting amplifier designed with hitmaker Tobias Lindell. An improved IC-based front end and a custom made-in-Chicago output transformer give detail, nuance and a big bottom end.
