Compress vocals, guitars, drums, basses, and virtually all things with the Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500, the company's double-slot, 500-series adaptation of its 19" rackmount Seventeen single-channel compressor. Seventeen 500 is all about modernizing the classic '76 FET compressor/limiter engineers and musicians all know and love by keeping what works and sounds great while adding modern features and conveniences not found on the original '76. With its redesigned and improved IC-based front, the compressor provides a clean, punchy, modern sound under light compression and a more colorful vintage character when pushed. That front-end, when coupled with the company's custom-designed, made-in-Chicago output transformer delivers details and nuances with a huge bottom end that balances out its open top end very nicely. High-grade Nichicon signal capacitors and proprietary power decoupling ensure an incredibly low noise floor.

Designed for versatility from the get-go, Seventeen 500 offers a set of powerful modern features that expand the tonal palette of the original '76. Stereo link a pair of Seventeen 500s for drum bus, keyboards, backing vocals, or even entire mixes. Use the frequency adjustable sidechain—with selectable high- and low-pass filters—and the wet/dry mix knob to dial in just the right amount of parallel compression, straight out of the box. Last but not least, the "all-buttons-in" mode makes it easier to engage multiple ratio controls simultaneously than on classic models. The Seventeen 500 is hand-assembled and tested in the USA.

Use as directed, when needed, and you'll be good to go.
A must have if you have a need for a ZDDP additive. This won't fix your worn valve seats, leaking piston rings, seasonal depression or gout but it will improve the lubricating properties of a quality oil in a properly maintained motor for your longevity goals.

Buddy filled diesel skid steer with automotive gas engine oil. Used this to help.
We all know that guy who will buy a $65,000 machine and then only service it once a year with the cheapest oil on the shelf from Rural King or some other place with ultra cheap, home branded, questionably quality oil. Yep. That is my good buddy. So I go to the shop a couple weeks back and he is re-filling the skid steer engine with some ultra cheap, totally not to spec, gas engine oil. I question him and he states that it is perfect oil for the machine being 5W-30. I ask him if it meets the SAE ratings for the diesel, he repeats back that yep... it is 5W-30. So I go grab his New Holland book (C232 track skid steer) and look up the oil requirements, then I look at this junk oil, and I try to explain to him the SAE designations on the back of the bottle and the SAE requirements in the book. He looks at me like I have 3 heads and repeats that it is 5W-30, it is totally good. Someone.... kill me please! He has no clue what I am trying to explain. So I couldn't sleep knowing what he is doing, and I ran to Amazon to see if I can at least get zinc to add to the wrong oil and try to help the cam followers and rockers survive this next year. I found this. I ordered a few bottles and had them shipped to his shop, and I explained to him that these need to be dumped in to at least make an attempt in not prematurely wear the engine that likely is worth $20,000 or more! So the real question is, will he actually dump these into the machine, or will he toss them on a shelf never to be seen again? We may never know. But I bet next winter he will once again shop for the cheapest oil on earth to put in a machine that costs as much as some peoples home. He is who he is, you can never change that.
