MANLEY – VARI-MU
Created great harmonics, we didn’t really hear the compression (which is good) but it had somewhat of a loose bottom end around 100 – 200 Hz. I am not sure exactly which model Vari-Mu this was (T-Bar mod or not), maybe Dave Martin could shed some light on this, as it was one of his compressors (thanx for dropping them off Dave). My mastering engineer uses the Vari-Mu with great results, but I would not pick this one for the permanent WireWorld equipment list, because it does not make much sense to go through the same compression circuit twice.

I dunno if the Meek is still to spec- I tend to use it on synth stuff, and simply crank one knob or another until I like what it sounds like...
And the Vari-Mu has the T Bar mod.
I guess that one of these days, I'll see those compressors again...
