Drawmer S3 Three-Band Stereo Vacuum Tube Compressor (Used)
Excellent condition. Will be supplied fully checked and calibrated so please allow a few additional days processing after purchase. in perfect working order and supplied with three months warranty. The Drawmer S3 is an incredibly versatile and somewhat rare multiband compressor with no less than 10 valves/tubes and three identical Class-A, fully balanced stereo signal paths. The S3 is simple to use, and it achieves a depth of precision in spectral dynamic balancing over the three bands that is not possible with a single-band compressor. Fantastic on drums, mix bus, mastering duties, as well as being a killer tool for more precise compression duties across a huge range of sources: vocals, bass, piano and more. The S3 Three-Band Stereo Vacuum Tube Compressor incorporates the very latest in Ivor Drawmer designs and the aim from the very beginning was to create a ‘no technical compromise’ circuit using only the highest grade components.
