Rare expensive and effective the Fairchild 660 and 670 were the pinnacle of 1950s compression technology. Their open warm sound and fast attack made them ideal for creative transient shaping and for ‘gluing’ mixes via stereo bus compression. PuigChild brings you this classic sound modeled to the last sonic detail under the close supervision of Grammy®-winning producer/engineer Jack Joseph Puig from his own favorite units.
Glue Mixes without “Squashing” As a bus compressor PuigChild’s pristine compression opens up a mix. Many modern compressors constrict the sound with more aggressive compression amounts but the PuigChild maintains its open sound even with fairly heavy compression. Modeled from Expertly Maintained Hardware The original Fairchild units are incredibly rare—just finding one is almost impossible.
We were fortunate to work with renowned engineer Jack Joseph Puig who owns perfectly maintained “golden” hardware units of these extraordinary vintage processors and supervised every step of the modeling. Compression Like No Other The original units’ sound is pure tube and can’t be duplicated by any other technology.
Compression takes place in the audio path of the tube itself rather than being routed to a separate gain control circuit like a FET VCA or Opto compressor.
