Product Description

• Natural Born Puncher Squeeze and Unfold The VCE-118 is a unique dynamics tool based on the breakthroughs that occurred  of VCA technology in the early Seventies. Its reputation as a secret weapon lies in its special ratio implementation
• which enables both compression and expansion
• combined with its special linear mode as a powerful fuel for bending dynamics as a creative effect. Regular vs. Linear The central knob offers compression ratios between 1: 1 and ∞:1 or expansion between 1:1 and 1:2
• while the intensity of the effect can be tweaked with the Threshold control. The Mode button switches from regular gain reduction or expansion
• where only levels above the threshold are processed
• to linear operation
• which affects the full level range above and below the threshold.  Diverse Duties Naturally
