Fully functional and ready to go! Recently serviced, some capacitors replaced with high grade components, and some tubes replaced with military-grade NOS vintage tubes, each was rigorously meter and ear tested to ensure the sweetest and most pleasing sound possible! This one-of-a-kind unit delivers an irresistibly rich tube compression to any signal you run through it. It also has enough gain in it to function beautifully as a mic preamp! Excellent condition, inside and out!
Recognized by some as \"The Dirtiest Compressor Alive,\" the Limpander LE-3 stands as an exceptionally rare vintage tube compressor limiter, capable of achieving over 50 decibels of gain reduction and providing up to 40 decibels of compression!
Highly esteemed for its ability to enrich the vibrancy and quality of bass and kick within a mix, it excels particularly in crunching drums! Additionally, the LE-3 can work it\'s magic as a final mix compressor, delivering a vividly colored yet confidently smashing mix!
Some of the old capacitors were out of spec, and were replaced new Nichicon electrolytic caps- when complemented with the other vintage Mylar capacitors, a seamless blend of warmth and resolute clarity is achieved.
