1968 MKII - 2-Channel JFET/Tube Stereo Bus Compressor
The 1968 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 now provides a choice of 2 settings: BIG and BIGGER. The BIG setting applies less processing to the low frequencies, reducing the ducking effect caused by bass energy and effectively boosting the bass output, the BIGGER setting even more so. The result - a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass and a smoother, wider frequency response overall.
The 1968 is a ‘stripped down’ version of the 1969 introduced to the market by customer demand for those not requiring the instrument and mic preamps incorporated in the 2U 1969.
