The Legendary Blue Stripe Compression Tone for Genesis
The Bluey AX 1176 pack brings the unmistakable sound of the classic Blue Stripe FET compressor into the Genesis ecosystem. Known for its energetic midrange forward bite and explosive fast behaviour this version of the iconic compressor delivers attitude presence and punch in ways no other design can match.
From aggressive vocal control to explosive drum room slams the Blue Stripe is famous for its characterful distortion texture and musical overdrive when pushed. Now all of that behaviour has been captured in stunning High Quality form ready to use across your mixes.

🧬 A Brief History
The Blue Stripe version of the 1176 is one of the most sought after revisions of the famous FET compressor. It was the earliest commercial version of the circuit and featured a unique input transformer design discrete Class A electronics and a hotter more colourful overall tone. Compared to later revisions the Blue Stripe has more midrange bite slightly more distortion and a recognisable forward aggression that made it legendary for vocals and drums.
Engineers love the Blue Stripe because it can be subtle when needed but becomes alive and explosive when pushed. Singers explode through the mix with presence drums become punchy and electric guitars gain a vivid energetic edge. Its speed clarity and harmonics became a defining part of many seventies and eighties recordings and it remains a studio favourite today for its unmistakable personality.
The Bluey AX 1176 captures bring all of this behaviour into Genesis with the accuracy and musical response that High Quality modelling provides.
