The Airchild Six Sixty Compressor is J.Rockett's sonic interpretation of the famous vintage 660 studio compressor. Consistently regarded as the best compressor ever made.
For years, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 (Stereo) compressors have been extensively used in studios. This inspired J. Rockett to offer that sonic signature to the guitar community without the $10-$100k price tag.

The typical iconic guitar compressor has created very recognizable tones throughout the history of music, especially Country music. That being said J.Rockett felt that there were already too many clones of that legendary circuit with few other variants available.

The typical Iconic circuit tends to crush the sound more like a limiter but has also cemented that sound into certain genres of music which is a great sound if so desired. J.Rockett wanted to make available a compressor that works like a studio compressor which enhances harmonic richness and evens out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.

The Airchild Six Sixty simply makes you want to play more, it increases sustain without crushing your output, it imparts richness to your overall tone and adds feel to your playing. The J. Rockett Team targeted the slide tones of Lowell George and the singing lead/rhythm tones of Mark Knopfler.
