Black Lion Audio B172A Dynamic effect

Two classics in one chassis, the B172A and the Seventeen version of the legendary “76” FET limiter with their take on the renowned “2A” tube optical compressor. Whether you use the FET and opto separately or in series, where one catches the audio’s peaks and the other provides the heavy compression. The B172A will blow you away with its incredible sound and versatility. The B172A’s Dual Mono Link makes it easy to route your signal through the 17 and 2A circuits in any order. Painstaking effort went into choosing the best transformers needed for each circuit. Spec’d with a CineMag input transformer on the 2A side, BLA’s own Chicago-wound output transformers on both circuits, high-grade signal path and decoupling capacitors, the B172A gives you ultra-convenient access to a pair of classic dynamics processors while also providing a valuable signal processing tool never before available in a single chassis.

On one side of the unit, you'll find typical F.E.T. compressor controls, including input, output, attack, release, and ratio. The other side of the box houses the optical compressor, giving you the classic Gain and Peak-Reduction knobs as well as a Limit/Compress switch for the ratio. An AB-BA switch lets you dictate the order of the effect, even giving you a dual-mono position in between the two options.

Should you want to link this unit to an additional B172A, you can do so over two 1/4" link connections—one for the optical side, and the other for the F.E.T. circuit.
