The Gyraf Audio Gyratec G22 is a dual channel vari-mu compressor inspired by the earlier G10 but featuring a newly redesigned control interface.

Vari-Mu Tube Compressor

The Gyraf Audio Gyratec XIV is a true tube, stereo equalizer. This equalizer is a very extended version of the classic passive inductor/capacitor type filters, the most famous being the “Pultec” units. It is a truely passive design – based on switching a set of inductors and capacitors in and out of circuit – combined with an E88CC (6DJ8) tube-based makeup gain/output stage. Not a single IC’s or semiconductor in the signal path – this is a real tube unit.
