    Chameleon Labs 7802 Stereo Tube Compressor Details
    This level of sonic integrity has been reserved for the kilo-buck price range, until now. In the spirit of classic opto compressors, the 7802 Stereo Opto Tube Compressor is a unique hybrid design of vacuum tube and transformer circuitry combined with modern, high performance components. The 7802 offers smooth, open, full bandwidth compression, while imparting a pleasant, subtle glow to your tracks. The silky attack is achieved via electro-optical circuitry, followed by a robust tube makeup gain stage. Final perfection is presented via the transformer balanced outputs.

    "Entry Level Price" but high level performance February 11, 2009
    Reviewer: Digital Sac-a'-Lait Productions from Houma, LA United States  
    My current front end is an A-Designs Pacifica mic pre into an A-Designs Hammer Eq.  Adding this compressor after the Eq took NOTHING away (that I can detect so far- after three continuous days of use) from the quality of the signal I had before I inserted the compressor.   (I've tracked vocals, acoustic guitar, and used it on the two buss).  It can be very transparent to very 'apparent' (some would call 'color').  It can be made to suck if you turn the compressor knob fully clockwise and peg the gain reduction to the 18db mark on the VU.  However, I'll never work it that way and for the record, the much-loved Pacifica can be made to suck if you drive it into distortion.

    I'm very happy so far.   Frankly, I don't see how anyone can go wrong spending well less than $1K on a two channel compressor that actually compliments the quality of a high-end boutique chain of gear like A-Designs.

    Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!
