Soundcheck: Sound Skulptor CP4500

The Sound Skulptor CP4500 is a stereo buss compressor for the 500-series (aka API lunchbox) that is heavily inspired by the famous SSL 4000 G buss compressor, whose VCA circuit is known to add ‘punch’ and ‘glue’ to your mix with ultra-low distortion. This DIY clone by Sound Skulptor comes with a few features that the original unit does not have, such as sidechain filters and a dry/wet mix knob. This video gives an impression of what the CP4500 sounds like. Please listen with good quality speakers or headphones. The music is by DM Kahn. I build this compressor (as well as other 500-series modules) on demand. If you’re interested, drop me an e-mail: [email protected]
