ever see this gates tube stereo limiter/compressor

[pucho812]

I am guessing it's a limiter. It belongs to a friend and he was asking me about it. I never seen that before.

Yes.  Discussed here before. 

 

[pucho812]

Oh. what's the model?

And is this the thread?

That's it.  Dual Limiter.

Cool!  I'd never seen that before.  Fugly.

 

[pucho812]

Yeah it is but from my understand sounds quite good.

edit: update, the unit in the photo appears to be missing the cover to prevent people from getting their hands on it. Protection if you will.

The model is a gates m-6144

Here is a link to the manual with schematics...

Hi, I just got one of these, but it didn't come with the on-indicator lightbulb. Does anyone know the model of bulb that this needs? It's not a bayonet type.
Thanks.
