With both British and American compression modes, stereo-linking capabilities, and a wide range of attack and release time options, the BG1 is a modern compressor with a vintage soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBLAST FROM THE PAST\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Highland Dynamics BG1 is based on beloved tube compressors of the 50s and 60s, it’s anything but a clone. At its core, the BG1 is modeled after the legendary Altec 436, although an array of tone tweaks, control modifications, and noise improvements have transformed it into something entirely new.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBACK AND BETTER THAN EVER\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t let the numbers confuse you — the BG1 is the successor to the best-selling BG2 mono tube compressor. While the BG1 features the same high - octane twin 6V6 output stage as the BG2, a number of useful features have been added.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLink the left and right channels with the flip of a switch and use the stereo BG1 for subtle mix bus compression, moderate channel compression, or even aggressive parallel processing. New 9-position attack and release time controls allow you to dial in fast, punchy dynamics, or glue tracks together with slower settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCOMPRESSION MODES\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDial in dramatically different sounds using the BG1’s two distinct compression modes. British mode compresses signals using plate-to-plate style feedback, just like the original Altec 436. Perfect for soft, smooth tube compression, British mode delivers super-clean transients.  Switch to American mode for a more aggressive tone that adds plenty of bite. Ideal for coloring tracks with saturation, use this mode when you want your track to cut through the mix. A three-way Threshold switch makes setting the BG1 a breeze. Simply select Low for “classic” compression amounts, Medium for more compression, and High for soft transient distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highland Dynamics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248533061769,"sku":"113847","price":3675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/8706\/5737\/files\/highland-dynamics_bg1_113847_1_f213e0f0-5eea-437b-92db-8b1084a00322.jpg?v=1784048312","url":"https:\/\/vintage-king-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/highland-dynamics-bg1","provider":"Vintage King Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
