Heritage Audio Grandchild 670 - 500 Series Review

Heck yeah, thanks Paul. Just commenting to help the algorithm. <3

Ah ah very similar with Shadowhill 500 !!!

Wow, lots of mojo 🤟🏼
I’m going to listen in my studio on the mains tonight before I shut down the system.
Finally upgraded my computer and interfaces so almost ready to swap them out 😊

Judging by the action of the compressor it seems you didn't use any of the side chain HPF options... or if so, which one?

Those switches are pickup selectors from a Telecaster! That looks perfect!

Cool. I find it to sound rather aggressive. Id love to hear a comparison with a real one. You are in a very unique position to do that 😊

Its impressive how much this add to the source incrediblle man!! dont know the original fairchild but this 500 series sounds top!! do you think this 670 is also beneficial in electronic genre more 4 to the floor technoish stuff???

Great video Paul!!! I really hope to see more. I also thought you stopped using 500 series units?

under what circumstances would you put this in the same rack as a dual vandergraph? i ask because i already have the latter and love it.

This sounds like a beast. Thanks for an awesome review Paul. Is there a noise floor issue considering its a 500 series unit?

You gotta stop making me want to spend money.

I TOLD YOU WAIT AND SEE THE CHANGES THAT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND..SIR

I'm in the same boat as you - wasn't expecting much (Herchild's too bright compared to a Fairchild), but I'm impressed with this one! The only con I see is the lack of an output trim.

A tool is a tool. I love heritage audio and their builds compared to other companies I won’t name

I bought grandchild today, compared it with "fairchild" plugins and was surprised at how big the difference is. I thought some plugins should perform a lot better. Now i see why there is so much hype about hardware fairchilds).

Hey Paul, what do you think about stamchild 670 II

Paul, I have an Elysia Alpha compressor (hardware), a Manley Variable MU limiter compressor (hardware), and a RND Portico II Master Bus Processor (hardware). How important is it to purchase an Unfairchild? In your experience, is my current equipment already giving me what the Unfairchild brings to the table? Does the Unfairchild do something my current equipment cannot do? If the Unfairchild does something my equipment can't do, would a better option be to buy the McDSP APB and use the C673-A (or their other compressors) instead of an Unfairchild? Thanks. Mark Cole

Blown away on this.Will be purchasing, good for warm compression,fattens things up very nice and wide.Wide variety of uses

What I've heard is, that "it doesn't sound like a Fairchild" isn't a valid statement, as no Fairchild sounds like another Fairchild. It's a curse and a blessing for manufacturers of clones.

How does this compare with the Wes audio Rhea? A shootout would be nice if you could swing. I’m trying to decide between the two.

Since you are Pro engineer i do have question. i unplugged xlr cable from the power supply tube mic by mistake the power was on
