Furman, Handmade In The USA. The LC-X / LC 6 are FET-based compressors with a big, aggressive sound and lots of mojo

The LC-X combines a single-channel expander, compressor and limiter in one chassis. Each section has its own controls and the result is a punchy, flexible compressor / limiter with lots of attitude. It comes complete with sidechain send & return (labelled sidechain output & input) and a socket for stereo linking. Using the sidechain with an outboard EQ is definitely to be experimented with!

Attack & release time are separately adjustable. It’s not immediately obvious if these controls apply to both compression & expansion but I assume they do. Fast attack neuters transients very effectively and, with short attack & release times, can be used to completely change the character of percussive signals. Longer attack times give the traditional hard attack followed by compression and is the key to making the LC-X pump

Final trick in the box is the limiter. This throws subtlety completely out of the window… It has one control, an output limit setting, and can reduce drums to a smoking ruin. Between this and the compressor there’s a whole world of massive compression – and huge distortion – to explore

This is the first FET compressor. FETs tend to generate more distortion than VCAs but, as the distortion is level-dependent, it often adds excitement & edge to the signal. In this respect, the LC-X is not as refined or accomplished as a UREI 1176 but it is definitely heading in the same direction. If you like compressors with aggression – like I do – the LC-X will be right up your street.

The Furmans are ideal for drum ambience, drum busses or anything that benefits from heavy compression. It’s also brilliant for electric guitars as it adds “hair” and bite and brings more attitude to rock vocals.
