GTQC channel strip

All Class A microphone and DI pre-amplifier, three band equalizer, and opto, FET, and opto + FET compressor

What do you get when you combine one of our favorite preamps with a spectacular new compressor design? The GTQC combines the GTQ2 mic preamp and EQ circuit with a new compressor which features both Fet and Opto compression.
