Gates Sta-Level Compressor


The Sta-Level dominated the sound of hit radio in the 1960’s.
The original 6386 compressor developed by G.E.,utilized a novel program controlled release circuit. 
The Sta-Level implementation creates density and consistency while minimizing typical compressor side-effects at up to 40dB of gain reduction! 
The program path is transformer balanced throughout to cancel control-induced distortion. Push pull circuitry with 6V6 output stage provides wide voltage swing for gain control and line output. The result is that the Sta-Level brings a uniquely familiar intimacy, air and warmth to your tracks.
