RETRO Instruments / Revolver

This bus compressor has been developed for the modern era, adding features not found in classic compressors, such as a sidechain filter, stereo link, non-step threshold control, attack, and release.

・Ideal as a stereo bus compressor. ・Also supports tracking and mixing ・Independent control of 2 channels with link function ・Non-step input, output, attack, release, and threshold controls ・120V specification A Revolution in a Rack. When you first hear the sound of Revolver, you will surely be reminded of the sounds that many legendary compressors have produced. It is exactly the vital and lively dynamics that you are looking for. You will know that Revolver is the right choice. Development of Revolver The development of Revolver dates back to 2011. Several prototypes were made and field tested in the studio. The development was carried out by modeling it after Altec436 and adding functions necessary for tracking and mixing. Revolver puts You in Control. You can control all the various compression sounds you have heard so far with Revolver. It also has additional features not found in classic compressors, such as a sidechain filter, stereo link, non-step threshold control, attack and release. Built like a Tank. The tubes and each part contained in Revolver have been carefully selected and all functions have been rigorously tested. It will provide the best performance for a long time.
