The Shadow Hills Industries Dual Vandergraph follows the lineage of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor maintaining its reputation of undeniable quality and exceptional performance, in a convenient 2-slot API 500 Series format module. Its inner components consist of the discrete gain cells from the Mastering Compressor combined with the Optograph’s extremely flexible Sidechain Filter matrix. It features a fully discrete Class A audio path and Shadow Hills' custom Iron Transformers. This combination provides exceptional dynamic control making the Dual Vandergraph a premium stereo compressor for your 500 Series rack!
Just like the Mastering Compressor, the Compression and Output Level controls are Swiss made twenty-four position attenuators. The Ratio switch, selects between: 1.2: 1, 2.5: 1, 4: 1, 8: 1. In addition to changing ratios, each selection changes preset attack and recover times. The Sidechain Filter Matrix controls the frequency sensitivity of the side-chain. The positions are: 90 hertz, 150 hertz, 250 hertz and Bandpass.
Though the Dual Vandergraph operates in stereo, it is controlled by a single set of variable attenuators. It will function as normal with just one channel connected.
I found the sound to be very transparent and gentle with it so far. You can definitely crank it for more aggressive results but I feel that this device really shines in terms of its ease of use and clean sound. If I were to change one thing I would prefer to have control over the attack and release stages as well as the ratio. But regardless, I think the limitations imposed help me make faster decisions. I find myself tweaking less and going straight for the settings that will put me in the ballpark where I need to go which typically leads to pleasing results. Highly recommend trying it!
This is a great comp! It gives me that awsome SH color in my mixes, I use it for everything.
Dual Vandergraph is awsome gear!!
it is not just otpo compressor. without compressor, gives us amazing tone With compressor , this becomes monster.
Loving the Vandergraph…. Using it as a parallel buss compressor, and it adds so much to my mixes.
If I had to use one word it would be ...WOW. This thing does something that makes whatever you run through it go to another level.
