Introducing: The Black Lion Audio "Seventeen" Compressor The Seventeen is not the ’76 compressor that your grandfather recorded with. It isn’t even a remake but rather the Black Lion spin on what the '76 Should have been. Designed in conjunction with hitmaker Tobias Lindell and featuring a redesigned and improved IC based front end, the Seventeen shows incredible detail and nuance normally not possible with this style compressor. This new front end circuit is coupled with our custom designed, made in Chicago output transformer, designed to give this unit a huge bottom end that balances out the open top end very nicely. We also include our proprietary Black Lion style power decoupling for an incredibly low noise floor. The Seventeen also uses high grade nichicon signal capacitors, widely considered to be some of the highest quality caps available. Never the ones to settle for “good enough,” we have added features that users normally consider as upgrades or mods including, a frequency adjustable side chain, separate selectable high and low pass filters, a wet/dry mix knob to allow users to blend in dry signal into their compressed signal, the Seventeen has a palette of tones not available to anything else on the market today. It also includes the all important stereo link function for linking together two units. Available End of Q1/ Early Q2. Price: $649 MAP Attachments:

Hope these are better quality than the Lindell. This must be basically the same thing. Same features, same designer, basically the same name, and the Lindell product is discontinued. www.lindellaudio.se/17XS-MkII.html

Is it really discontinued? I can't tell from the link.
Lindell products are like the fast food of audio gear and I hope BL didn't go down that route.

All buttons in? Gotta must. I think that they are doing the rightous...Not joining in again on the bandwagon of marketing a "one to one" clone but rather tangentaly, doing as they say, building what they feel to be a better mouse trap. No input transformer, etc. Kudos to them. Ain't honest competition wonderful!!! edit: Didn't realize it was the same as the Lindell.

This was designed in conjunction with Tobias (not made by lindell) and share some similar features but that is where the similarities end. The actual circuit and topology are completely different. Most importantly the input topology. Parts sourced from completely different places in the world. Not to mention the Seventeen like all previous Black Lion products is made in the U.S.A. This is a Black Lion product through and through.

Can we get a "pop the hood" picture? That would be awesome. and i did not mind the Lindell 17xs or the 18xs products. I thought they were good value product for what they did for me.
