Two channels of iconic diode bridge compression – straight from the Shelford Channel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the early 1970s, Rupert Neve’s vintage 2254 and 33609 diode bridge compressors have been revered for the punch \u0026amp; thickness they bring to drums, instruments, and the mix bus. Originally developed for the acclaimed Shelford Channel, the Shelford Diode Bridge Compressor captures the soul of these coveted compressors while providing a host of modern updates, including advanced timing control, significantly lower noise, fully stepped controls throughout, higher voltage power rails, and internal parallel processing capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is diode bridge

weighty, harmonically rich tonality of diode bridge compression can be essential in pushing key sources like vocals, electric guitars, bass and drums to the forefront of a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy understanding the limitations of vintage units like the legendary 2254 \u0026amp; 33609, painstaking effort was taken to reproduce the unique tone of these classics while improving the noise floor \u0026amp; accuracy, expanding inflexible time constants, adding full wave sidechain detection for improved dynamic response, and widening the range of threshold and ratio controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivering the powerful sound of these iconic designs with enhanced flexibility for the modern age, the Shelford Diode Bridge Compressor is a dynamic tool equipped to make a bold statement on virtually any mix or
