Manley Stereo Variable Mu® with T-Bar Mod option
LIMITER COMPRESSOR
In a world where the availability of the original USA GE 6386 tubes is dwindling, the T-Bar Mod emerges as a revolutionary solution for the Manley Variable Mu Limiter Compressor. The newer Variable Mu units use 5670 tubes, and while they sound similar up to 6dB of limiting, the 5670 version tends to sound more "squashed" beyond that point. To overcome this, Paul devised the T-Bar Mod, utilizing a pair of 6BA6 pentodes wired as single triodes to replace each dual triode 5670 (or 6386).
Key Features of the T-Bar Mod
While the front panel may not show visible differences, the meter scaling now reflects enhanced reduction capabilities, with the left-most number at 12dB instead of 10dB.
