The Airchild Six Sixty simply makes you want to play more. It increases sustain without crushing your output, imparts richness to your overall tone, and adds feel to your playing. Our target tones were the slide tones of Lowell George and the singing lead/rhythm tones of Mark Knopfler.
The Team at J. Rockett aimed to provide a compressor that works like a studio compressor, enhancing harmonic richness and evening out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.
Key Features
- Blend Signals – The Blend knob allows for blending the dry and compressed signals together for full control over the compression.
- No Limits – Enhances harmonic richness and evens out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.
- Recreates a Real Fairchild Compressor – Recreates the sonic nature of a real Fairchild 660 Compressor like a real studio compressor, and doesn’t just act like a limiter.
How the Fairchild 660 Compressor Inspired the J. Rockett
The Fairchild 660 studio compressor is consistently regarded as the best compressor ever made. For years, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 (Stereo) compressors have been extensively used in studios because of the sheer quality. This inspired J. Rockett to offer that sonic signature tone to the guitar community!
