Two compressor plug-ins that recreate Martina McBride’s personal, original Fairchild 660 from Blackbird Studio as a true real-world model.

At Blackbird Studio, Martina McBride’s Fairchild 660 is part of her fiercely protected vocal chain, a collection of John and Martina McBride’s handpicked favourites. F66 is an authentic model of this original unit, while F67 is the stereo model with Linked, Stereo and Mid/Side modes. Both bring the unmistakable warmth and control of this compressor to your DAW, together with modern features such as a Mix control for NYC-style parallel compression, external sidechain, a frequency-driven sidechain detector and selectable VU metering.
