The 1968 is a 1U Tube/FET 'stereo bus' compressor which by design delivers a transparent 'open' sound even during periods of heavy compression. Featured on both channels is a 2 position 'BIG' control which applies less processing to the fundamental low frequency but still disciplines the upward associated harmonics which if untamed can result in a 'boomy' or 'boxy' sound. The result - a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass and a smoother, wider frequency response overall.
The 1968 is a 'stripped down' version of the 1969 introduced to the market by customer demand for those not requiring the instrument and mic preamps incorporated in the 2U 1969.
