The ability of  being able to switch between Feed Back and Feed Forward compression is  something that is not new to Paul Wolff. With the TXC, he decided to  take it one step further by allowing the ability to fade between Feed  Back compression and Feed Forward compression with the Type control.  This feature gives the engineer the freedom to combine the smooth nature  of the Feed Back type of compression with the aggressive effect of Feed  Forward compression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition to the FB-FF Type control, the TX5C has the ability to over  compress with the Ratio control, which allows compression ratios from  1.5:1 to 20:1, and then beyond, with the \"Over:\" ratio settings that  cause the compressor to reduce the gain at a higher ratio than the gain  is going into it. This means that the ratio control allows the  compressor to compress an increase in signal of 10dB with a gain  reduction of up to -8dB. If the signal goes up 10dB, the output will go  down 8dB.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This becomes useful when taking a pre compressed snare and by adjusting  the Attack, and setting the Ratio in the Over: area, you can actually  recover the initial impact peak of the snare. This, with the Mix  control, can then be blended back with the original \"flat\" snare and you  now have a dynamic snare again, but with a very controlled peak.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The TX5C also inserted the now famous \"Tilt\" control into the side chain  of the RMS detector, so you can increase the highs and decrease the  lows going into the RMS detector, virtually eliminating the effects of  pumping because the Detector is seeing a more uniform distribution of  energy across the spectrum instead of a bass heavy signal like most  compressors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Attack control has a X5 switch to allow for a range of extremely  fast attack (in the micro second range) all the way through a very  smooth slow attack, more suited for leveling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Release control can be almost instantaneous to 3 seconds. The  release circuit is a unique 3 stage circuit that auto releases the  faster signals at a rate of 10 times the release of the lower frequency  signals. All of this and an auto-makeup gain system that always keeps  the gain at unity regardless of the amount of compression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With a 6 LED Gain Reduction meter and an adjustable link control, the  TX5C can be used in mono or stereo configurations with ease.anty.","brand":"Tonelux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449592311911,"sku":"36062","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_36062_1_4388b8fa-d311-4bd4-90fa-4589d8e5ce84.jpg?v=1787089601","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/tonelux-tx5c-module-vk-252-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
