Description

SPLICE MKII FET COMPRESSOR
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.

OVERVIEW

  • 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)
  • Stereo Linkable w/ front panel switch
  • External Send & Return w/ front panel switch
  • “All Buttons In” / Slam Mode front panel switch
  • True Bypass (Relay Controlled) w/ front panel switch

  • Attack Time – 20 to 800 Microseconds
  • Release Time – 50 Milliseconds to 1.1 Seconds
  • Compression Ratios – 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 & Soft Bypass (BP)
  • True VU meter w/ meter buffer circuitry

1176 - Too Many Options

What he said. I've owned multiples of most every revision UREI, UA and most clones. The Serpent Splice MKII is my favorite FET come ever. I have the 19" rack but if you get the 500 series u could get a pair cheaper. Tone and control for days. Thumbs Up smileyView Post

Thanks for consulting me! I have all 3 of these so I can speak of strong points and weaknesses. 1. The Splice sounds great, has a blend feature and has 2 settings. Black and Blue although I only keep mine on Blue most of the time. It's 500 so it's a small footprint. I really like...
