REQ: KIT Plugins BB F66/67

The Legend Reborn
Deep within the heart of Blackbird Studio lies a sacred rack of gear, meticulously curated and fiercely protected: Martina’s vocal chain. This exceptional collection, featuring John and Martina McBride’s handpicked favorites, is a testament to their pursuit of sonic perfection.
The F66/67 plugins embody the essence of Martina McBride's personal Fairchild 660 Compressor as a true real world model.
Selected from John McBride’s exceptional and personal collection of vintage gear for use in Martina’s personal chain, McBride hand-tuned and manipulated the frequency response himself, BB F66 captures every characteristic and detail. The BB F67 has the same legendary 660 sound with the addition of a 670’s mid/side processing and individual stereo controls, providing more flexibility and creative possibilities.
