The Super Stereo compressor has been designed specifically for stereo mix applications. The sound of stereo buss compression is palpable in today?s music and has created a high demand for stereo buss compressors. Although the demand is high, the majority of models currently available are often unaffordable for today?s home and project studios. This need for quality equipment, coupled with the lack of available funds, has led to a growing ?Do It Yourself? (DIY) online community.
Justin Morse, the man behind Roll Music Systems, has always been a hands on studio owner and builder of equipment. ?The idea for the Super Stereo actually came from the original customer who commissioned the Folcrom. He asked me to build him an SSL clone from the plans on a DIY web forum,? notes Morse. Instead of creating yet another clone, Morse decided to design his own version of a stereo buss compressor.
The result is the ?Super Stereo? compressor. The unit will be 1RU high and have a single set of controls for true stereo application. It will feature a switchable hi-pass filter on the side chain along with attack and release controls, including an option to employ program dependent release.
"It has a short, clean signal path and the kind of smoothly aggressive response my customer was asking for to use on his stereo buss. It looks pretty bad ass, too," says Morse. The unit is currently being beta tested by a few locals, including engineer/producer Tom Garneau (Prince, Sting, George Clinton).
?The High Pass filter in the side chain is great on heavy-bottomed mixes, keeps the kick and bass from pulling down the track. It's got that smack for less (money). I've compared it to its more expensive counterparts and it ran neck and neck, sometimes surpassing.? notes Garneau.
Seems a little fishy to me

the picture even looks like a SSL/GSSL.
Sure a lot of the products created today are appropriations of prior designs, but they could have atleast made it look original.

The Super Stereo is not a Gyraf. It's not an SSL either. It has some similarities. For example, it's a compressor. The unit is 19" wide and does have some of the same controls as numerous other compressors. Nothing too original in that regard.

Hey Justin,
It is not just a compressor, it is a VCA compressor :green:
Congrats on your new box. I hope it is a success. I saw an earlier prototype pic that was posted and it is great to see that quality switches (look like Grayhills).
I think some guys here just raised their eyes when seeing something like this as Jakob's (Gyraf's) designs have been ripped off in the past, not just copied from but identical board layouts! Making people skeptical.
I wish you luck with your Super Compressor and hope it finds a nice home in the pro audio market . I still want to check out your Folcrom someday.
Cheers
Matt
