Klanghelm DC1A Description

DC1A is the smaller brother to the compression monster DC8C. I have taken some of my favorite settings from DC8C, and tried to make them work in a two-control context. It sounds similar to DC8C's PUNCH mode, but has a few more features such as stereo unlink and negative ratio. I have always wanted to make a compressor that only had an input and output knob. A compressor that works well, is gentle, faithful, and can do everything from smooth leveling to heavy pumping, with a nice crunchy saturation, and punchy enough for treating drums. DC1A seems like a one-trick pony. Don't be fooled by the absence of additional controls. It may surprise you at how well this little device can handle different materials. DC1A comes with a few tricks: negative (over), parallel (New York style), compression, the option to compress left or right channels independently (via DUAL MONO switch), peak compression (RELATED switch on) and DEEP activates high pass filters.
