The Seventeen is not the ’76 compressor that your grandfather recorded with.
It isn’t even a remake but rather the Black Lion spin on what the ’76 Should have been. Designed in conjunction with hitmaker Tobias Lindell and featuring a redesigned and improved IC based front end, the Seventeen shows incredible detail and nuance normally not possible with this style compressor. This new front end circuit is coupled with our custom designed, made in Chicago output transformer, designed to give this unit a huge bottom end that balances out the open top end very nicely. We also include our proprietary Black Lion style power decoupling for an incredibly low noise floor. The Seventeen also uses high grade nichicon signal capacitors, widely considered some of the highest quality caps available.
Never the ones to settle for “good enough,” we have added features that users normally consider as upgrades or mods including, a frequency adjustable side chain, separate selectable high and low pass filters, a wet/dry mix knob to allow users to blend in dry signal into their compressed signal, the Seventeen has a palette of tones not available to anything else on the market today. It also includes the all important stereo link function for linking together two units.
Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for providing our customers with the sort of sound quality normally found in equipment that costs substantially more than what we charge. Our work has been used for projects on major record labels and countless independent ones. It’s been used on TV shows and commercials. It’s been used by major audio software companies to record sample libraries and provide customer demonstrations. We’ve done work for Grammy and Academy Award winning engineers, and for major studios in LA, NY and Nashville.
You can hear our work in major motion picture scores and soundtracks such as “Shutter Island,” on major television shows like ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars’, as well as on commercials for Fox and Chevrolet. BLA’s work is also utilized by prestigious organizations such as The Los Angeles Opera, major label acts like Maroon 5, Alison Krauss, Metallica, T-Pain, George Strait, MGMT, Beyonce, George Duke, Slayer, Erykah Badu, Rod Stewart, and The Donnas, as well as by independent artists like J Mascis, Sereena Maneesh, mewithoutYou, and many others.
