The action of the compressor is pretty much identical to the SOC. For those familiar with the SOC, can be very smooth and suitable for compression on acoustic stlyes where you don't really want to hear it. For those unfamiliar with the SOC, you'll just have to try it for yourself!

The audio path is completely different. It's widebandwidth and fast so plently of transient detail, and the transformers add that slight weight to the bottom end.

The more I listen to the Lundahl transformers, the more I like them.

Cheers
Tim.
