Product Description

The Fairchild 660 is a single channel compressor/limiter that has been used on many classic recordings throughout history. The world’s accepted standard for level control, the 660 is considered one of the most sought-after compressor/limiters ever made. Its ability to inject warmth and coloration to any signal, make it a must for any producer or audio engineer. Due to the popularity of the 670, only 1000 were ever built and very few original 660 are still in working condition. Designed and built by Rein Narma and recording legend Les Paul, the 660 is back. Built to original specifications, utilizing the same tubes and custom wound transformers, point to point soldering and turret style construction. Unlike other clones, The Fairchild 660 is made as close to the original as possible today.
