SPLICE MKII FET COMPRESSOR
The Splice™ MKII brings FET compression to a whole new level, faithfully recreating the circuitry and sound of not one, but two classic FET compressors. The Splice MKII’s unique mode switching allows the user to switch between the classic Blackface or vintage Bluestripe circuits at the push of a button. In addition, the Splice MKII can also mix and match the two for entirely new sounds that can only be found with the Splice MKII (i.e. Blue Input Circuitry + Black Output Circuitry for “Blueface” mode or Black Input Circuitry + Blue Output Circuitry for “Blackstripe” mode. It’s like having 4 compressors in one.
SPLICE-500 MKII FET COMPRESSOR
Size doesn’t matter. The Splice-500 packs all of the sound and functionality of the acclaimed Splice MKII rack into a single 500 series module. Faithfully recreating the circuitry and sound of not one, but two classic FET compressors, the Splice-500’s unique mode switching allows the user to switch between the classic Blackface or vintage Bluestripe circuits at the push of a button. In addition, the Splice-500 can also mix and match the two for entirely new sounds that can only be found with the Splice (i.e. Blue Input Circuitry + Black Output Circuitry for “Blueface” mode or Black Input Circuitry + Blue Output Circuitry for “Blackstripe” mode.
SB4001 - 500 SERIES STEREO BUSS COMPRESSOR
The SB4001 pushes the limits and sets new standards for the 500 Series Format. Boasting Quad VCA’s, 6 ratio’s, 10 Attack Times, High Pass/Boost/Slope Sidechain Filters, Wet/Dry Blend Control, External (Key) Input, Classic Stepped Release Settings, Classic And Alternate Auto Release, Variable Release Control, as well as “Grind” Mode (a proprietary valve style harmonic drive adding vintage color), the SB4001 is capable of delivering whatever sound you need. Whether Clean, Dirty, Vintage, Subtle, or Crushed, the SB4001 is sure to be one of the most flexible compressors in your arsenal.
CHIMERA - 500 SERIES OPTO COMPRESSOR
Faithfully replicating the vintage LA3A design, The Serpent Chimera brings the classic Opto sound to 500 series format. Featuring an all discrete circuit design, Orange Drop and Elna capacitors, full steel enclosure & cover, class AB transistor output, true T4B optical cell, and transformer balanced input & output, the Chimera delivers the thick, rich, & smooth opto compression sound that you’re looking for.
SEND N' BLEND - 500 SERIES MIX / BLEND MODULE
The Serpent Send N’ Blend (SNB-500) is a standalone Mix/Blend control module, available for 500 series. It enables the ability to add a mix/blend function to any piece of outboard gear, allowing for out-of-the-box parallel processing. Typical applications are for parallel (aka New York) compression, however the SNB-500 can be used anywhere where the combining of two individual signals is desired (i.e. dual mic’ing or typical summing applications). The Serpent SNB-500 features premium electronics, utilizing the same core audio path as the acclaimed SB4001®, and features Elna Capacitors, Sealed Potentiometer, Steel Housing Construction, and Three-Way Hard Bypass.
