Slate Digital FG-116 Fet Compressors


FG-116 Blue Series FET Compressors

The FG-116 Blue Series authentically recreates the tone of two vintage “rev A” FET limiting amplifiers, and then offers you two uniquely modernised versions of the classic FET circuit. With vintage and modern tones, plus clever features like hi pass detection and a parallel mix knob, the Blue series can be used all across your mixes and masters.

 

Vintage FET Limiting

  • Vintage Circuit 1
    • Circuit 1 features the classic ‘mid-forward’ character that made the blue-striped FET compressors so famous. It adds a wonderful colouration, especially to the upper midrange and adds a warm presence to vocals, bass, drums, and guitars alike. It will have a softer top and bottom end compared to the Black 116, and more articulation in the transients due to the harmonic distortion in its midrange.
  • Vintage Circuit 2
    • Circuit 2 is modelled after a “rev A” unit that had been updated and refurbished, with a very unique and musical sound. This model features bigger lows and smoother mids and highs compared to Circuit 1. Thus, making it sound incredible on drum room mics, as well as vocals that need to have a bit more of a bigger sound.

Modern FET Limiting

  • Vintage Circuit 1
    • Circuit 1’s attack is slow enough that this compressor can sound amazing on close drum mics when set to the slowest attack and fastest release. It is recommended to try it on a snare to bring out the punch while extending the decay. When used on Bass guitars this setting can achieve a very edgy sound.
  • Vintage Circuit 2
    • Circuit 2 features a more breathable and punchy bottom end, with an overall smoother response on the top end. It will sound fantastic on a drum buss with the Hi Pass filter engaged, and even full mixes can really benefit from this musical compressor!

 

Parallel Compression

The FG-116 Blue Series Compressors will take the guesswork and setup out of parallel compression techniques by offering you a Mix control. Dialling in heavy amounts of compression but dialling the mix back to 25%, will allow you to enhance the punch of your drum tracks without making them feel overly compressed. Additionally, the Hi-Pass filter allows the compressor to ignore low frequencies, retaining that low-frequency impact while still controlling the dynamics of the sound.
