Drawmer 1968 Dual Vacuum Tube Compressor
Key Features
- 2 channel tube/FET compressor for recording and mixing
- Dual mono or true stereo link operation gives you plenty of flexibility
- VU red warning glow to signify when the signal is clipping
- 'BIG' and 'BIGGER' mode applies less processing for a more solid lower end
- Side chain access and side chain listen facility
Drawmer 1968 Dual Vacuum Tube Compressor Overview
Get the best from your recordings with this fantastic compressor. The Drawmer 1968 Dual Vacuum Tube Compressor revisits and revitalizes Drawmer's roots. The Drawmer 1968 utilizes a J-FET (Field Effect Transistor) gain reduction circuit that operates faster than an opto-isolator. The compressor makes use of a 12AX7 tube makeup gain amplifier where the user can add with the Output Gain Control, ul to 20 DB of additional gain. Containing Blend Valves and FET'S for high-quality compression, the 1968 Dual Vacuum Tube Compressor delivers a transparent 'open' sound even during heavy periods of compression.

The Drawmer 1968 Dual Vacuum Tube Compressor expands attack times to six choices: 2, 9, 15, 25, 30 and 50 ms. Release times come in three fixed times (100ms, 500 ms and 1 second) and three program-dependent choices--200 ms to 2 sec, 500 ms to 5 sec and 1 to 10 seconds--all program-dependent and automatic. The 1968 MkII provides full sidechain access for connecting an external equalizer for vocal stressing or de-essing.
Packed full of excellent features
Featured on both channels is a switchable 'BIG' and 'BIGGER' mode which applies less processing to the fundamental low frequency which gives it a very wide and bassy sound - ideal for adding some power behind a kick recording. This then results in a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass and a smoother, wider frequency response overall. There are two yellow illuminated VU meters - with a red warning glow to signify when the track is clipping which is especially useful for monitoring audio, to ensure that equipment isn't damaged or compromised.
