DryBell Unit67


You could probably count the Urei 1176 compressor among the three or four tools most likely to make your guitar sound automatically awesome in a studio. So what if you mated a compression circuit based on the 1176 to the nearly-as-legendary Dallas Rangemaster treble booster? DryBell calls the fruits of this effort Unit67. But we call its impressive tone massaging capabilities and flexibility positively awesome.
