Splice-500 MKII

$1,955.00 CAD

Description

The SPLICE-500 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-500 MKII.

Size doesn't matter. The Splice-500 packs all of the sound and functionality of the acclaimed Splice MKII rack into a single 500 series module. Faithfully recreating the circuitry and sound of not one, but two classic FET compressors, the Splice-500'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-500 can also mix and match the two for entirely new sounds that can only be found with the Splice (i.e. Blue Input Circuitry + Black Output Circuitry for "Blueface" mode or Black Input Circuitry + Blue Output Circuitry for "Blackstripe" mode.

All units are made in the USA to an exceptional level of craft and workmanship.

Caractéristiques
