S-Type 500 VU : Good, after hours of doubt

4 years ago

My initial review of this stated that the channels are not balanced whether engaged or in bypass. Switching between "in" and "bypass" also changed the balance levels. I concluded this after an hour of testing. After submitting the review, I thought about excluding my patchbay in the chain and test directly instead. It worked. My patchbay now needs to be fixed.

On to the compressor itself: the sound, build quality, knobs, switches, meter ballistics are all good. Very solid covers and fits well in my rack.
