Simple design and straightforward controls, epic looks, massive sound. Stay-Levin is a unit that shaped the sound of American radio hits in the 1960s. With a character and colour all of its own, this carefully emulated vari-mu tube compressor legend will add the desired analogue edge to any modern production. Its user-friendly front-panel control set has only two knobs and two switches, but these give you plenty of depth and tone control for a surprisingly wide range of input signal types.
Stay-Levin is extremely versatile for a compressor that was originally designed over 60 years ago. It can drastically enhance the presence of guitar and synth leads, and thanks to its airy, smooth top end it will do wonders for drums or horns. However, this vintage unit is one of the go-to tools when it comes to processing bass and vocals, thanks to its unrivalled punch and natural warmth.
