Drawmer 1978 Stereo Tone Shaping FET Compressor Overview
The Drawmer 1978 is a stereo FET compressor with adjustable filters and variable saturation, ideal for tonal bus compression. Fitted with an unprecedented amount of features to give the user complete control over their mix all within the confines of a deceptively simple 1U frame. The 1978's distinct capabilities are characterized through it's ability to compress with character, control distortion, tonally shape and express an overall versatility in its application upon wet/dry mixing. It's never been easier to achieve optimum sonic capabilities with the 1978 multi band FET compressor as it grants the user the distinct capabilities of bringing out the bass, highs, adding warmth, distortion as well as the options of widening and even smoothing the sound.
