1. DESCRIPTION / OVERVIEW:
The SPLICE™ MKII is a single channel FET based compressor, and can be used for
mono applications, or can be paired with a second SPLICE™ MKII for stereo
applications. The SPLICE™ MKII’s unique circuitry mode switching allows the user
to configure the input & output audio path circuitry between classic Blackface and
Blue Stripe modes, or mix and match the two to create completely new sounds,
unique to the SPLICE™ MKII.
