The Airchild Six Sixty
Compressor is our sonic interpretation of the famous vintage 660 studio
compressor. Consistently regarded as the best compressor ever made.
For years we have used the original 660 and 670 (Stereo) compressors in
the studio and decided to try and make that sonic signature available
to the guitar community without the $10-$100k price tag.
The
typical iconic guitar compressor has created very recognizable tones
throughout the history of music, especially Country music. That being
said we felt that there were already too many clones of that legendary
circuit with few other variants available.
The typical Iconic
circuit tends to crush the sound more like a limiter but has also
cemented that sound into certain genres of music which is a great sound
if so desired. We wanted to make available a compressor that works like a
studio compressor which enhances harmonic richness and evens out
transients without crushing the entire spectrum.
