Chandler Limited Germanium Compressor with PSU-1

Chandler Limited Germanium Compressor with PSU-1. One power cable to the compressor and one mains power cord to the PSU included. The Germanium series continues with the GERMANIUM Compressor. The Germ Comp starts with the same all class A amp found in the Germ Pre and Tone Control and is transformer balanced in and out.

The compression circuit uses an FET gain reduction element but with the tricks and flexibility of all the Germ units. Some of the most notable additions include a Wet/Dry mix (for "submixing" tracks within the comp), Comp Curve (which selects the knee using various diode combinations), Clean/Dirty comp and Sidechain filter. Many of the Germ Comp parameters have been purposely set by studio use and listening not by over analyzing them with test gear. The result is a musical powerhouse ready for tracking, mixing, and mastering. See the close up photo of the cracks in the plastic of the two smallest knobs.

They work fine now, but might break if you turn them forcefully. So I included two replacement knobs. These two replacement knobs are for the "Germanium Drive" and "Feedback" controls on the right end of the strip. These replacements are aluminum and will not break like plastic replacements would.
