Skol303 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just spotted this in SoundOnSound and thought it might interest someone here... API TranZformer LX Bass Pedal "Combines an API 525 feedback-type compressor with a bass-optimized 3 band equalizer, both independently in/out switchable. The unit also features phase invert switches on each output, ground lift, clip indicator, transformer output and a hard wire bypass switch." I'm a big fan of API and this looks like a relatively affordable way of getting some of their legendary mojo into your signal chain - bearing in mind that individual API modules tend to cost upwards of £1000 each! If anyone picks one of these up then please post your experiences here; I'd be keen to know more... PS: if you've never heard of API before, they're one of the best known brands when it comes to high end studio gear and have been making mixing desks/consoles and individual EQs, compressors and pre-amps since the late 1960s.

thewebow Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I wish they still made these. Seems not available as a unit anywhere. Nothing on reverb or eBay for U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as nice sounding to my taste as a couple of other boxes he had, but that’s my ears… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellborg preamp is my happy place, Grace felix did it’s own thing well. im currently using a JHS colourbox v2 though not compared it to the others but has similar idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
