    Thanks for making this video. I currently have a modded Klark KT-2a (upgraded Kenetek T4b Opto and Harma Retro tubes) along with the KT76. Both sound different and I particularly like the KT-2a on vocals. However, I have had a tube go out on me and this is a little disconcerting as I can’t afford to waste time taking it out the rack and replacing the tube during a session. Hopefully this won’t happen often but it’s left me feeling nervous.
    As a result, I’m looking for something that can give me a similar thickness and high frequency smoothing that doesn’t use tubes and I’m quite interested in the BLA Seventeen.

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      Heh Richard, I think you would find the Seventeen might be going in the opposite direction. Definitely similar in overall 'weight' but, it would bring the signal more forward compared to the Opto sound. The Seventeen is definitely that FET sound and a bit more than most.

    Excellent review. I’ve recently bought a 17. I do wish BLA didn’t wire the Attack backwards? They should have kept the Bluey independent to this specific mod. I have no idea why they did this?

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      When I spoke to them, they said it was to match the C.L.A. model they emulated but I agree, I wish it was just stock to match all my other 76 style comps.

  • @rogercabo5545
    @rogercabo5545 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank 4 the test. Seventeen add clarity, means heights to the signal. Or on the other hand, tame the mid lows only on compression. Its a bit difficultely to analyse, but there's nothing wrong here. Sounds great. For vocals is a bomb! But I don't like the Klark Technic, sounds like a simple anything comp. So in my opinion:
    Nothing with V8 and big burgers - the Seventeen completely contradicts the cliché of the American way of life in its sound performance. It creates air and lightness and, as a compressor, doesn't appear coarse, but very nice and subtle and handles the frequencies with kid gloves rather than with a chainsaw. For your money you get a very high-quality device with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee and a great feel. I recommend the Seventeen for hip-hop and rap producers but there are also compressors for banging chart hits that go more in the direction of "more loudness". The Black Lion can give a recording of a live concert a better overview, help the drummer get a better picture of the whole picture or adapt the singer's dynamics to the band.

      Agreed, the Seventeen definitely has more grit and character and the fact that you can dial that down with the mix knob is a game changer.
