Details

Controls: Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release, Input/Output/Mix (Wet/Dry) knobs, sidechain HPF (60/90/120/180/240Hz/off), AMP-mode bypass, input mode (transformer- or IC-balanced)

Notes: Explicitly marketed as inspired by the UREI 1176 (FET, BF245A matched quad transistor). IGS states VOLF is an "extended and improved version" of the discontinued IGS Volfram, which is why Volfram itself is excluded here as superseded. Rack-only; 500-series 1176-style modules are Alter 500 and 576 Blue Stripe (separate rows). Price EUR-only (2490 EUR).
