Product information "Gainlab Audio Governor"
The GLA-OP1 The Governor is a vacuum tube-based optical compressor that, thanks to its dual slope design with two threshold points, provides precise control over dynamic conditions. Its predecessor, used in the Bishop All-Tube Channel Strip, has become a notable reference in its own right. The Governor can operate in dual mono and stereo modes, allowing detailed parameterization for most dynamic processing operations. Its tube-based transformer output delivers the classic tube boost effect. Optional full-spectrum and high-frequency boost, side-chain filtering, and external side-chain signal input provide flexibility. The redesigned meter section offers a more informative display than traditional VU meters, making it easier to set the compressor’s two break points intuitively.
