Tube-Tech CL 2A dual compressor

Posted by: POMMON Mon 25 Jul 2005, 17:50

i've heard those tube tech's are good, but i've also heard they're not made very well. often run into repairs.
any word on that?

I have several Tube-Tech, and its quality is to the height of its robustness. I have never had to change nor a fuse.

A lot of people say that the old Valley People Kepex are very musical, guitars, harmonica etc sound very good through them. Or how about a Universal Audio 1176 or dBx?

Look on here in their 'classic catalog' for breakdowns on all the compressors there have ever been, it's excellent
