The Mercury Recording Equipment Co. 666 Overview and Comparison to the Tube-Tech CL-1b

The Mercury Recording Equipment Co. 666 is our favorite compressor release of 2023! It’s a highly elevated homage to the Fairchild 666 from vintage audio guru Dave Marquette. Since the Tube-Tech CL-1B has been back ordered for years we have been looking for a replacement and we think we have found it. Take a tour of the Mercury 666 and check out our sound samples comparing both on a female singer, male rapper, drums, and bass.
