Frequently Asked Questions
The variable attack reacts dynamically to the signal, preventing overly aggressive compression on transient-heavy material and resulting in a more natural sound.
It definitely imparts Harrison's signature warmth and a subtle roundness, so it's not truly transparent, but it's a pleasing and musical coloration.
It offers a unique sonic character and build quality that sets it apart, particularly its program-dependent attack, but it's less versatile than some more complex options.
