1. DESCRIPTION / OVERVIEW:

 

The SPLICE™ MKII is a single channel FET based compressor, and can be used for 
mono applications, or can be paired with a second SPLICE™ MKII for stereo 
applications.  The SPLICE™ MKII’s unique circuitry mode switching allows the user 
to configure the input & output audio path circuitry between classic Blackface and 
Blue Stripe modes, or mix and match the two to create completely new sounds, 
unique to the SPLICE™ MKII.
