The Infamous Fostex MN-50

Post by Evilash1996 » Mon Oct 03, 2022 8:36 pm

Hello everyone,

I made a quick overview and demo video for the Fostex MN-50. I was surprised to see that there were zero videos on YouTube show casing this compressor. If you've been on these forums long enough you must have seen the name of this unit come up again and again. Often touted as the secret weapon for a trashy drum sound. Some say it's a hunk of overrated junk, other's keep it in their back pocket for when it's needed to spice up a track. I hope the video can be appreciated around here.

Cheers,
Mario

Nice video, Mario! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a good deal on one of these.

No, unfortunately I’m usually late to the party and paying inflated rates by the time I hear about something.
