Description

Our Gates Sta-Level is a solid tube limiter that has just the right amount of character. With a selectable recovery switch, you can fine tune the limiters release time to fit with any source material. The Gates Sta-Level also has a single/double switch that will allow you to select either a single RC time constant (typical of most tube compressors) or a dual time constant that gives the compressor a more musical aspect. This limiter works wonders on a bass guitar.
