Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the CA3080 provides a more aggressive and distinct compression character that’s closer to the original '76 sound, offering a more pronounced squashed feel.
It's not transparent; it’s designed to be characterful. Expect a more noticeable color and a more 'in your face' compression compared to modern, subtle compressors.
A standard regulated 9V DC power supply is fine, just ensure it can provide at least 8.5mA to avoid any power-related issues.
