🎸 The Governor compressor’s HARD mode works brilliantly for bringing out the string attack and texture of plucked instruments.

We recommend relying mainly on the first slope, as the Governor already has plenty of bite in HARD mode. Be prepared to adjust the dry/wet balance as well—parallel compression can help preserve the natural dynamics while adding definition and character.

For the best results, try a slow attack and fast release. 🔥

🔗 **What does the LINK switch actually do on the Dictator Dual Mono Compressor?**

It doesn’t link the controls of the two channels. Instead, it links their **sidechain control signals**, allowing both channels to react together while all parameters can still be adjusted independently for each side. 🎛️🔥

A strange question, but we’ve been asked it several times: do Auditors need a run-in period before use? 🤔

Nope, your Auditor is ready to go! Just take it out of the box and start using it. 📦✨😊

Come hang with us at the Recording & Music Technology Show in London! 🎛️🎶

The Governor Valve Optical Compressor has been one of our most popular units lately. 🔥

A clear star of the exhibitions, and in terms of real-world use, one of the most flexible and versatile optical compressors out there. 🎛️✨

Recently, we were invited into the FOH setups of a few top-tier productions, where the Governor was used in completely different ways.

Details coming soon! 👀

Ever since we’ve had the Auditor 500 Series Headphone Amp, even our warehouse looks so much better. 😍🎧

The first batch is already on its way to its future owners, and the next one is in production. 🚚✨

Thank you so much for all your interest and support we’re doing our best to fulfill every order as soon as possible. 🙏

“We were looking for something to add to the guitars, something that could give them a bit more warmth, analog sound, and saturation. We started playing around with the Wizard and right out of the gate it sounded freaking cool. All of a sudden everything felt bigger, and the EQ sounded really smooth.”
- Jonathan Jarell, FOH Engineer, LORNA SHORE
