Crane Song 500 Series Falcon Valve Compressor

Crane Song Falcon is a classic sounding tube compressor in the 500 Series format.
Falcon features 3 attack and 3 release time settings, hard and soft knee choices for compression or limiting, two different audio path sounds, wet-dry mixing for parallel compression, and is linkable.
Similar in sound to the classic Summit TLA-100 that Dave Hill originally designed, this was the first 500-Series and Valve design to be released from Crane Song.
The audio path colour is changed by modifying the tube circuit so it has negative feedback or does not have negative feedback. This along with the optical like quality of the compressor allows for a vintage sound or a much cleaner sound with optical characteristics.
When linked the master unit controls all functions on the slave except for wet-dry and make up gain. The link system is capable of doing 5.1
