Fabulous Ted Fletcher 38 stereo mastering compressor, equally at home as a mix buss compressor or on a drum buss. In great condition, was serviced by Ted himself a couple of years ago.
Below is a review from Tape op that very neatly sums up what the P38 offers.
“The first dynamics model is a standard VCA that does exactly what a compressor is supposed to do-compress the signal-but so far this setting has been too exact for my taste. (I’m usually looking to have a little more fun with these toys, but it’s nice to have the option.) The second model is a FET, simulating the historic 1176. In my opinion, the P38 on this setting is better suited for buss compression than a real 1176 due to the inclusion of adjustable program-dependent release times (although you can still use fixed attack and release times as well). The 1176 model seems to add a softness to the midrange while allowing enough of the kick drum to sneak by unnoticed. This gives mixes a very nice pillowy bump to the kick while keeping the low end tight like a compressor should. The third model imitates the quirky attack and release characteristics of the legendary LA-2A, but once again gives you more controls than on the original (including all the program-dependent settings). This setting basically sounds similar to an LA- 2A on the low end but with much less coloration to the midrange. Circuit designer Ted Fletcher’s own variation on the characteristics of the LA-2A on the fourth model is my personal favorite. This one has everything I like about the sound of the second model (including that pillowy low kick), but it seems to allow a little more of the punch of the snare through, giving the midrange a definition that locks the mix without making it sound dull. This fourth setting, which utilizes an original opto- based gain-change circuit, is in my opinion what makes this compressor unique and a must-have for my studio.”
