The VCE-118 is a distinctive dynamics tool, drawing from breakthroughs in VCA technology from the early Seventies. Its standout feature is its unique ratio implementation, enabling both compression and expansion. This, coupled with its special linear mode, makes it a potent tool for dynamic manipulation with creative flair.
Comparison:
The primary knob adjusts compression ratios from 1:1 to ∞:1 or expansion from 1:1 to 1:2, while the Threshold control fine-tunes the effect's strength. Toggling the Mode button switches between standard gain reduction/expansion and linear operation, affecting the entire level range around the threshold.
Versatile Functions:
Beyond delivering classic punchy compression reminiscent of renowned VCA compressors like the 160, the VCE-118 offers surprises. Its expanded dynamic range can create effects akin to gates and transient shapers. Linear mode takes this further, enabling extreme sonic possibilities from heavy beat pumping to subtle ambience manipulation.
Dynamic Power:
The VCE-118 is a powerhouse, capable of both aggressive drum obliteration and subtle punch enhancement when used in parallel. Linear mode provides unparalleled versatility for crafting unconventional dynamics effects, easily integrated with the mix knob for nuanced adjustments. With the VCE-118, you can compress, expand, and enhance with precision.
