Huge! Vintage BBC AL/78J Output Transformers Analog Saturator Clipper Colorbox With Diode Distortion Circuit Mixing Mastering Music Audio

Big, Heavy, Badass BBC output transformers! This AL78/J pair came out of the same set of bbc preamps the LG96 set came from….. But they are very different beasties. They have a much darker (in a good way) 3d-ness about them so are beautiful for mastering music with a vintage sonic imprint - and for the electric guitar bus. Soundwise - think about the Fairchild limiter - or even better - listen to the Black Keys recordings - that whole Modern-but-Vintage thing they have going on - that’s kinda what these guys do. I absolutely love them on the electric guitar bus - especially on big fuzzed / distorted guitars which sound All wrong when you compress them (and lose all their life) - they just seem to clip in the right way and settle that audio into the mix. Gorgeous! They also shine on classical sessions - again where too much compression will kill the audio dead - a little bit of analog clipping will only add to that harmoniousness! This set have had a passive switchable diode distortion circuit added before the transformers - so you can clip the audio and not punish the iron too hard ... though we do like hitting the iron hard eh! ... Just gives you a ton more tonal options and allows you to explore the sweetness of the TransX coils !!. Put some proper analog shine on your productions!
