The Lindell 7X-500 compressor packages the sound of one of the most popular compressors of all time into a convenient and remarkably affordable API 500 Series rack module. This late '60s-style FET compressor/limiter may be small, but it still manages to pack all of the useful functionality you could ask for inside. There's a a highpass sidechain filter in the 7X-500, which lets you focus its response, and a mix knob lets you blend its wet and dry signals to taste.

Key features:

• FET-based technology sounds eerily reminiscent of classic compressors from the late '60s
• Variable mix control lets you blend compressed & uncompressed signal in parallel for maximum compression without losing transients
• 3-step switched attack & release times make dialing in the perfect dynamics easy
• 3-mode (off, 100Hz & 300Hz) highpass sidechain filter lets you focus your dynamics 
• Choose from mild 4:1, heavy 12:1 & "all-in" 100:1 compression ratios
• True-bypass hardware preserves your sound when bypassed
• 20-LED gain-reduction metering
