Gain Lab Dictator Stereo Vari-Mu Compressor

a Dual Pentode Vari-μ Compressor

The Dictator is a tube based dynamic controller wich is designed after a classic vari-mu compressors.

Theoretically similar to the legendary Fairchild 670 and Gates STA-Level in addition to the contemporary solutions in order to have a better control over the sound.

The bespoke design of the branch circuits we just simply call the “mu-follower”.

The two channels of the compressor can provide synchronised running throughout the whole range of the transition curve and so excellent gain reduction can be achieved. The time wise working parameters and the saturation characteristics are very familiar to the known tube based compressors.
