"The Drawmer 1968 MERCENARY EDITION Stereo Tube Compressor. Highly musical compressor ideal for use in both tracking and stereo compression applications.

The Drawmer 1968 MERCENARY EDITION is a 1U Tube/ FET stereo bus compressor which by design delivers a transparent open sound even during periods of heavy compression. Featured on both channels is a switchable BIG mode which applies less processing to the fundamental low frequency but still disciplines the upward associated harmonics which if untamed can result in a boomy or boxy sound. The result - a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass and a smoother, wider frequency response overall.

The main features of the Drawmer 1968 MERCENARY EDITION include:

2 soft-knee compressors with variable threshold, attack, release and output gain
Switchable BIG control on each channel delivers a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass
Dual mono or true stereo link operation
Side chain access and side chain listen facility
VU metering of gain reduction and output levels
Switchable + 10dB mode on VU re- scales the meter for users working at hot output levels
VU red warning glow to signify approaching clipping Balanced + 4dB XLR in/outs
