J.Rockett Blue Airchild Six Sixty Compressor

With the Airchild Six Sixty, J.Rockett offers its interpretation of the famous 660 studio compressor often considered the best compressor ever made.
For years, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 (stereo) compressors have been essential for studio work. Hence J.Rockett's idea to bring this sonic signature to guitarists worldwide, but without charging them between $10,000 and $100,000 as for the originals.

The classic guitarist's compressor is responsible for some iconic sounds in music history, especially on the country scene. J.Rockett observed that there are already countless clones of this legendary circuit but very few derivatives.
The classic guitarist's compressor tends to squash the sound like a limiter. This
behavior having become characteristic of certain music genres, which is not necessarily a disadvantage, J.Rockett wanted to create a pedal that works like a studio compressor, enhances harmonic richness, and smooths transients without crushing the entire sound spectrum.

The Airchild Six Sixty makes you want to play again and again: it increases sustain without crushing the signal, enriches your overall tone, and accentuates the sensitivity of your playing. The sounds targeted by the J.Rockett team range from Lowell George’s slide tones to the singing rhythm and lead guitars of Mark Knopfler.
