Product description

The Golden Age Project Comp-3A Jr is a single-channel, vintage-style compressor designed to deliver compression with musical character for musicians, vocalists, and audio engineers in studios and sound reinforcement setups. Its discrete analog signal path components include resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors, all of which contribute to its overall tone. The XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs are transformer-balanced for optimum audio performance and low noise. Simple, yet versatile controls ensure efficient operations and effective dynamic leveling. In addition to the gain reduction and gain makeup knobs, there are switches for attack and release time combinations, a high-pass sidechain filter, a hardwire bypass, and power. The 7-segment LED meter can display gain reduction or output level via a dedicated toggle switch. The Comp-3A Jr boasts a quarter-rack width and ships with an external power supply.
  • Vintage-style electronics; no integrated circuits in the main audio signal path

    Subject: comp 3a golden age jr won’t do anything besides turn on
    Date: 23.11.2021 00:32:12Name: kellan
    my signal chain right now is SM7B->Cloudlifter->Ohuhu 48v phantom power->Comp 3A Golden Age Jr->2i2 Scarlett Solo->laptop
    whenever everything’s hooked up, i’m able to turn the 3A on and off but whenever it’s on i cannot hear myself through the mic at all, all i hear is static. once it’s turned off then generally i can hear myself in my mic like normal. is my signal chain wrong and that’s why it’s not working or do i need to adjust the settings on the 3A?
