TIMBRE USER MANUAL
As always It’s all about compression so we’ve created “Timbre” – an all
tube vari-mu compressor based on the 6386 tube, inspired by the old,
famous and much desired Gates STA-Level compressor. The Timbre is
easy to use, full of color and sweetness. It is a vintage-style compressor
made from the highest quality of components.
Augmenting the design, we have added new features like the third
mode of operation with shorter attack time, a high-pass sidechain filter,
a link for stereo operation and a bypass function. Timbre utilizes a
novel programme controlled release circuit which creates density and
consistency while minimizing typical compressor side-effects at up to
40dB of gain reduction!
