Black Lion AudioBluey 500 500-Series FET Compressor + Limiter

Black Lion Audio Bluey 500

Delivering that signature 1176 sound in a compact 500-series module, Black Lion Audio's Bluey 500 is a true recreation of Chris Lord-Alge's favorite FET compressor unit. Inside are two Cinemag transformers, authentically recreating the UTC input and Reichenbach output transformers found in the original Blue-stripe unit. Beyond that, Bluey 500 delivers the true 1176 experience: up to 20:1 compression ratio, variable attack and release controls, input and output gain, and even the cool VU meter. But in a nice change from the original, a dry/wet control allows for parallel compression blends from the unit itself, opening up more sound possibilities for you mixes. Bring a true studio icon into your 500 series rack with the Bluey 500.
