I just unwrapped my new BL-40 Modulimiter, and I must say it looks amazing. Alan Garren at Waltzing Bear did a superb job with all of the mods, including the knobs. He was even kind enought to send me a PDF block diagram of the how the compressor/limiter functions. He describes the BL-40 as an LA-3A and an "1176 on steriods." Basically it has a T4 cell for the optical/RMS gain reduction and an FET style limiter which can be switched in and out before the output stage. After testing the unit with a couple drummachines, I was fucking amazed.
