WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. This limiter exhibits fantastic character, especially on keyboards, electric guitars, drums and bass. Some of the potentiometers are a little scratchy when adjusting but clean once dialied in, this does not affect performance. The unit sounds great in every setting! 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good. There is some pitting of the metalwork on the chassis but the Blue Face looks really good.

BRAND: Ashly

MODEL: SC-50 - "BlueFace"

FUNCTION: Stereo Peak Compressor Limiter

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for an Ashly SC-50 Peak Compressor Limiter, a secret weapon of choice for some top session players.

SPECS:

• Serial# N/A
• VCA-based design: The SC-50utilizes a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) design, with early "blueface" units containing a discrete VCA and later "blackface" units using a dbx VCA chip.
• Essential controls: The unit features intuitive controls for threshold, ratio, attack, and release, allowing for precise dynamic range management.
• In/Out switch: A bypass switch lets you engage or disengage the compression effect. However, on the earlier blueface models, the signal still passes through the unit's gain stages even when bypassed.
• Blueface vs. blackface: The original 1970s "blueface" models are known for a characteristically fat, dirty, and colored sound. Later "blackface" units are similar but are considered by some to be slightly less "open" sounding.
• Stereo linking: The SC-50 can be linked to another SC-50 unit for stereo operation via a phone jack.
• Versatile application: The SC-50 is valued for its versatility across various sound sources, including guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and keyboards
