Unfairchild is by far the best compressor I own. Before I actually owned one I had the opportunity to use one on a Kacey Musgraves record. I realized that I had printed almost every track in every session through the compressor. I realized I had to own one. Since then I’ve been using it all day and every day since. Two weeks ago I started a new project and I used it on my mix buss. When I was finishing my mixes I went to a studio with an original Fairchild. I A/B’d the two mixes and immediately chose the Unfairchild. This compressor is worth it’s weight in gold. Amazing!!

I have been using a particular version of the 660 type compressor for more than 25 years now.  Then the Unfairchild came along. I didn’t think I would ever move past what I had. But the Unfairchild 670 MII, and the extension UNFa-1 give me more of what I had, and then some. I can easily get to the same feel I had, but now, I have so much more flexibility. It sounds and feels fantastic, and has a much broader palette. Light to heavy, subtle to strong, backward to forward,  and so many more shades in-between. Honestly, this thing is awesome!

I wanted a Fairchild for years, but they’re so expensive. I finally got the chance to use the UnFairchild next to the an old one and it was impossible to tell the difference so I didn’t look back. So far we’ve been using this on Vocals, Bass, Drum Overheads and whole mixes and it’s blowing everything out of the water. It gives us extra low end when we need it and the extra features make it feel pretty great in a modern setup too. Everything I wanted from a Fairchild and more. If all else fails it makes a great companion for meditation.
