Steff Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Hello, I bought this compressor 2-3 weeks ago from e-bay. It is in a good working and cosmetic condition, no dents or scratches. I am selling it, because I expected it'll combine with my current gear and will produce something different than what it turned out to be. It is 2U, has 2 ECC83 valves, can work as stereo or dual mono. [attachment=64453:ivory_2_5021.jpg] This is a photo I've downloaded from internet, gives an idea. It adds a nice warm drive when used with vocals, but I don't sing as much to justify keeping it. Here's some info from the TLAudio web site: 5021 2 Channel Valve Compressor Each channel offers fully variable control of input and output gain, threshold, ratio and gain make up. Attack and Release times are switchable for 'fast' and 'slow' modes. An expander/gate is provided with control of threshold. Metering is via VU meters - either output level or gain reduction can be monitored. A front panel instrument input is also included. The unit will work in dual mono or stereo linked modes, and a compressor bypass switch is provided on each channel. Inputs and outputs are duplicated on balanced XLR and unbalanced jack, and a sidechain insert point is included on each channel. I am including four "maplin's" patch leads in the sale, because I won't need them. Asking price is now 150GBP. Delivery or collection preferred - I am based in Acton, W London. Regards, Steff.

Steff Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 I am sorry - I've just noticed the photo I've attached is Mark 2. Will add the right photo in a minute.
Steff Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 [attachment=64454:WWW.PROS...dio_5021.jpg] That's the one.
TheRinser Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Hey, Can't justify buying it myself, unfortunately. However, I can confirm that I got a lovely big bass tone going direct into one of these when recording once... Edited December 2, 2010 by TheRinser
Steff Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 Cheers dude! I think it works pretty well as a preamp, or in a combination with a non-valve amp. Now trade options available: would accept a trade + cash my way for a nice octave pedal, i.e. MXR Octave deluxe or EBS Octabass black label.
Steff Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 Yet another price drop! Come on people, I don't wanna e-bay this...
