Serpent Splice MKII: Advanced FET Compression

The Serpent Splice MKII takes FET compression to a new level, offering not one but four compression circuits in one unit. With the option of selecting between the classic Blackface and Bluestripe circuits or combining them, the MKII also enables the unique Blueface and Blackstripe modes.

Selectable compression modes

Blackface & Bluestripe

Blackface mode offers a classic, precise and controlled sound, while Bluestripe adds grit and color to the signal, recalling the most sought-after vintage units.

Blueface & Blackstripe: exclusive compression

The real strength of the Splice MKII is the ability to cross input and output circuits, creating new sounds. Blueface (Bluestripe input + Blackface output) and Blackstripe (Blackface input + Bluestripe output) offer sonic nuances never before heard in an analog compressor.

Advanced controls for maximum versatility

The front panel houses intuitive controls to activate stereo mode, use the All Buttons In, access the external insert, or adjust parallel compression. Active sidechains with built-in filters allow even more precise control of dynamic behavior.
