Product Description

• BA-6A is a compressor plugin inspired by the simple and effective design of a classic 1950s TV and broadcasting limiting amplifier. Suitable for taming the most aggressive and peaking instruments without losing any of their punch
• BA-6A is your tool of choice if you need to beef up your drums
• vocals
• or guitars.  Boasting three-stage amplification with a moderate drive
• hard knee
• fast attack
• and medium release
• The BA-6A implements a Vari-Mu style valve compression or as it’s often called – true tube compression. In contrast to the later Opto valve compressors
• the Vari-Mu designs can offer faster attack
• variable release times
• and more musical and forgiving compression.  Due to the nature of its circuitry
• BA-6A is known for its high gain and fat yet gritty sound. This unit gained its reputation for being abused by Jimmy Page and is responsible for much of his huge-sounding guitar recordings.  History The original hardware unit had a three-stage amplifier
• nine valves
• a rectifier
• and a voltage regulator all resulting in a beautiful array of harmonic distortion that we carefully emulated in our BA-6A effect.     Despite the unit being originally designed for TV and broadcasting purposes
• its unique character and thickening effect
• combined with the straightforward controls and all-analog circuitry
• helped the original that inspired us to create BA-6A become a quick shortcut for “beefing” up snares
• kicks
• basses
• and vocals with even minimal compression.  Features Balanced
• three-stage limiting amplifier  Prevents overmodulation and overloading.  Brings vocals to the front  Gives vintage thickness to any instrument  Adds character
