■ Guitar Effects
■ Compressor
■ A pure vacuum tube compressor. Produces a warm, lively compression/limiter sound.
■ This compressor/limiter boasts low noise and a wide dynamic range thanks to an accurate RMS level (root mean square) detection circuit and a high-performance, low-noise VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier).
■ Three basic controls (threshold, ratio, gain) plus two envelope controls (attack time, release time) provide detailed studio-level settings.
■ The threshold level is continuously adjustable from 0 dBu to -40 dBu, allowing for optimal compression. The reduction LED accurately displays the compression effect, allowing for visual adjustment.
■ The compression ratio is continuously adjustable from 1:1 to infinity:1. The output gain is continuously variable from 0dB to 30dB, allowing for a wide range of compression effects, from clean boost to limiter.
■The 9V supplied by the AC adapter is boosted to 25V (±12.5V) and then supplied to the compressor/limiter circuit, providing ample headroom and full-range frequency response to suit any instrument.
■Features TBS (True Bypass Switching) with a 4PDT mechanical switch. When in bypass mode, the signal is completely bypassed, with no electronic circuitry involved. Even when the effect is active, the signal does not pass through the electronic switching circuit, ensuring no degradation in sound quality.
■Includes AC adapter AC2009.
■Dimensions and weight: 121(W) x 152(D) x 60(H) mm, 580g
