ADR Vocal Stresser F/S

Postby Thirteen » Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:19 am

Nice ADR vocal Stresser for sale, it has the input/output transformer options factory installed. A FET compressor, It's a Compex compressor/gate/expander with an EQ section in a 2RU rack. Legendary for vocals, guitars and if you are happen to get a session with John Bonham and you need a compressor for the kick drum. Comes with original owners manual/schematics. Inspect and pick up in Sydney.... $1500.00. If you can't find an 1176 this unit is even more fun and far more versatile.

Still available, any takers? No chips in this baby, all discrete transistors.

""I recorded the vocals with an AKG tube mic in the live room and I was also using an ADR Compex Vocal Stressor at the time. Sadly, I sold that many years ago and I'd really like to have it back now."
- Gareth Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Jon ... c_producer)) talking about recording Depeche Mode - http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb07/a ... s_0207.htm

I didn't know anything about this piece so I looked it up .Sounds excellent. When I recover from buying everything else I am currently committed to buying, and if this is still available I will definitely take it off your hands.

The AD&R stuff us excellent.
They made the compressors for Helios.
The Compex is a favourite of Tony Visconti I believe.

They are a mono unit, EQ then compressor/gate/expander, but you can reverse the order as well.

Ok thanks - thought this was the case but the youtube vid you linked to had appeared to have 2 channels of i/o on the back. Not in the market for a mono comp right now.

A mono comp is definitely on my to-buy list. I've got a Purple MC77 and was seriously contemplating getting another, but this seems like a good alternative.

Sadly I have $9500 worth of other commitments (all to TRF members) to sort out first.

Would be a lovely addition to my other outboard. If you could wait a month Steve I'd probably buy it.
I've only just bought a clone pye stereo comp/lim so I'm definitely watching my pennies.

You guys are mad not picking this up. They are a fantastic compressor/EQ and rare as hens teeth.

"The vid says "it's a challenge to service them"..

Why is that?

I don't see why... Very straightforward, no chips, socketed boards, good quality components. I wish the other gear that I service was that simple.
