Squeez SQ-2 Rack Compressor/Gate - £35 incl. UPS Next Day

[skej21]

Up for sale is my Tapco (by Mackie) Squeez SQ-2 Compressor/Gate. As with most Mackie gear, it's really well built and does a great job with microphones or line inputs. Lots of control over the compression and can get a really nice vintage compression on vocals quite easily. I've used it in my live rack and also had it in my first home studio rack and it did an excellent job but has since been upgraded to a dbx compressor and is surplus to requirements.

In near mint condition (as the photos show) and comes with original owner's manual.

There's one currently going on ebay for a ridiculous amount of money ($265 plus p&p!! [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tapco-Mackie-SQ-2-Squeeze-2-Channel-Compressor-Limiter-Gate-Rack-/180804195948?pt=US_Signal_Processors_Rack_Effects&hash=item2a18c5166c"]http://www.ebay.com/...=item2a18c5166c[/url])

I think [size=4][b]£35 including UPS next day courier service[/b][/size] is a fair price. Payment via Paypal Gift or Bank Transfer please.

I'm also open to any sensible offers around the asking price.

Thanks for looking

PICS:


BLURB:
The [b]Squeez SQ-2[/b] from [b]Tapco[/b] is a dual channel compressor with gating and a single band, adjustable "Air" EQ. The EQ can be used for obtaining the classic vocal sound of the 60s and 70s, or for replacing high frequency content due to heavy compression. Inserts on both channels allow for frequency sensitive compression.
The compressor section offers both auto "soft-knee" and "hard-knee" curves, while the gate employs "soft" operation and an expander function at the threshold to eliminate clicks from drums and other percussive sounds.
The unit provides dedicated threshold and ratio controls along with attack and release controls for the compressor, an output control that allows for volume make-up and eight LEDs on each channel display gain reduction. An automatic attack/release button is provided for those that prefer ease of use, or are unfamiliar with the subtleties of compression.
