Serpent Audio Splice MKII
MPN #SPLICE SA-76
Single channel FET based mono compressor
Splice MKII FET COMPRESSOR
The Splice MKII's unique circuitry mode switching allows the user to configure the input & output audio path circuitry between classic Blackface and Blue Stripe modes, or mix and match the two to create completely new sounds, unique to the Splice MKII.
The Splice MKII brings FET compression to a whole new level, faithfully recreating the circuitry and sound of not one, but two classic FET compressors. The Splice MKII's unique mode switching allows the user to switch between the classic Blackface or vintage Bluestripe circuits at the push of a button. In addition, the Splice MKII can also mix and match the two for entirely new sounds that can only be found with the Splice MKII (i.e. Blue Input Circuitry + Black Output Circuitry for "Blueface" mode or Black Input Circuitry + Blue Output Circuitry for "Blackstripe" mode. It's like having 4 compressors in one.
Features
Four Compressor circuits in one box
Input Circuit Black + Output Circuit Black = "Classic Blackface Mode"Input Blue + Output Blue = "Classic Bluestripe Mode"Input Blue + Output Black = "Blueface Mode" (Unique to the Splice)Input Black + Output Blue = "Blackstripe Mode" (Unique to the Splice)
