Golden Age Project COMP-3A 1 Channel Vintage Style CompressorThe COMP 3A is a one channel vintage style Compressor Leveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose.

The COMP-3A is a one channel vintage style Compressor / Leveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.

The circuit used in the COMP-3A is based on a classic design that uses an electro-luminescent panel and a photoelectric cell to control gain. This gives the COMP-3A a unique, program dependent compression characteristics. In addition, the vintage style signal path adds a wonderful and musical character to the sound. The ease of use with only two main controls makes it very simple to achieve the desired sound. These attributes haVE made the original units a favourite of engineers and musicians worldwide.

This classic sound is now available at a very affordable price point with the COMP-3A.

Features:

• Vintage style electronics. No integrated circuits in the signal path.
• Transformer balanced input and output. Can drive almost any load - balanced or unbalanced.
• Selectable output transformer loading resistors by an internal jumper, will affect the high end frequency response.
• Uses a classic T4-style electro-optical attenuator to control gain with program dependent attack and release times.
• Very simple to operate with only two main controls, Gain and Peak Reduction.
• HF control can make the side-chain circuit more sensitive to mid and high frequency content.
• A big meter selectable to show gain reduction or output level at two different reference levels.
• Hardwire bypass switch for easy comparisons.
• XLR and TRS input and output jacks for flexible connections.
Link jack and switch for connecting to another unit for stereo operation.
• All external controls located on the front panel.
• External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers.
• Compact 2RU half rack format. Two units can be mounted with our 19-inch rack kit, the UNITE BIG.
• A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.

The same magic as the extreme chewer Kong cone!
Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My lab hound mix LOVES this tire as much as he loves his extreme chewer Kong cones (we bought three of those!). He hasn't been able to cause any damage at all in the week or so that he's had it. We are always excited to find toys that he can't break! We're ordering a second tire for upstairs!

INDESTRUCTIBLE!
Our lab chews through every “indestructible” toy within a few hours. This ball is amazing! He has not been able to destroy this toy! Highly recommend for your most aggressive chewer!

Our dog is very happy with this ball!
Our lab is an aggressive chewer and LOVES his toys. I was looking for a chew toy that had a different shape than a regular ball or Kong and saw this. Our dog LOVES this toy because he can chew it when he wants to be alone and it keeps him entertained (especially when stuffed with food). He also plays "catch" with us by rolling the ball toward us with his nose. So far there is no indication that he is damaging it so I'm very pleased with the durability.

Bouncy and firm
Lasted a day so far! I'm hopeful it'll last at least a week. Light enough to bounce compared to her Kong ball.

Thus is Great
They so far are indestructible in the jaws of my two large German Shepards. To be fair, this is NOT a ball to toss because it seems to be more in the cannonball family than in the soft dog toy world. Each of my pups love their Monster K9 balls but when they drop it on our hardwood floors, the whole household knows where they are.
