Best sounding compressor I’ve had the joy of using. We loved it so much!! Sounded amazing w the synths too. Our new mic arrived today and can confirm it sounds AMAZING with your beautiful pre>limiter combo! This Fatlady really breathes life into the signal. I’ve wanted something this simple and great sounding for years. Everything I record through it lifts in character & colour. Synths, vocals, drums I literally use it on everything. Rhythm Ace Studio in Taranaki NZ . sam johnstone. Been spending some pretty exciting time with this @ekadeksound Fatlady comp limiter. It’s a magic box that ill struggle to do justice to with stupid words. Maybe a photo of me spitting out coffee when I tried it on bass might have been better? The mystery extra dimension you get running audio through beautifully crafted gear like this makes my ears all fat and happy. Gearshoot.com . Chris Chetland Titirangi NZ.. Moving into the Analog Limiter section of this shootout we are starting off with Boutique gear company Ekadek. The Ekadek FatLady Vari Mu is a really well thought out piece of gear (based on our time playing with the one we sampled into Gearshoot). The FatLady keeps a really nice smack on the snare and kit, doesn’t introduce huge amounts of distortion, but significantly ups the harmonic character of the drums. There is a definite contained squash that this style of compression provides, while still keeping a really nice top end. This is a Vari Mu design that (and we’d recommend checking it out at lower compression settings on songs and vocals too in the presets) stands happily alongside the sonic quality of any of the world’s best and most famous Vari Mu limiters. One of our favorites in this shootout to be honest.
