Know before you buy
The Normal mode provides standard analog compression, while the Multi Band mode compresses high and low frequencies independently for a more transparent, modern sound. The Tubeism mode adds harmonic character and warmth, mimicking the response of a tube amplifier.
Yes, the pedal is compatible with power supplies ranging from 9V to 12V DC. It also features built-in protection against over-voltage up to 18V, ensuring the internal circuitry remains safe.
No, the True Bypass Signal Relay Switching ensures that your signal passes through the pedal completely unaltered when the effect is disengaged, maintaining the integrity of your guitar's natural tone.
It is versatile enough for both, but it truly excels at evening out clean passages and adding sustain to lead lines. Because it is optimized for guitar, it handles the dynamic range of various pickups effectively without adding unwanted noise.
Absolutely. The high-quality analog signal path and selectable compression modes make it a reliable choice for studio tracking, providing the professional-grade consistency needed for recording.
