MDC Delta-MU Compressor

This is the first major product of my own design. It has been a labour of love and obsession and I've spent the last number of years refining and perfecting the circuit. I can confidently say it's an incredible tool for tracking, mixing, and even mastering.

It can be extremely clean and transparent, with excellent THD and noise floor performance. But, it can also be an amazing distortion box when you want it to be. I love to hit that line a bit when tracking bass or vocals. I apologize for the small number of audio demos, but it's something I am working on and I will update the folder as I do.

I have parts on hand for 7 units before I launch a wider kickstarter campaign.

37 units sold, at various stages of development.
