The Serpent Audio SB4000 Bus Compressor is an SSL 4000 style "glue" compressor. I built this one myself from a parts kit sold by Serpent Audio a couple years ago. It can do punchy, driven, clear, and most any compression sound with the right settings! Strongly recommended for anyone looking to dip into outboard.
Minor rack rash around the mounting screws and the top/bottom edges of the faceplate. Small scuff next to the level meter. Otherwise in great shape!
