Sleek Looks

On the outside, this powerful piece of gear boasts cool eye-catching threads. Each black knob contrasts tastefully against this baby's sleek blue-green top, and a white font for the description of each control makes their respective functions easy to read. With only three controls and the single grit switch, manipulating each dimension of compression couldn't be more intuitive.

Dialing in Your Compression -- And Grit, If You Want It

The compression knob at the top sets the blend of your clean and compressed audio -- a technique called "parallel compression" that lets smooth out the overall signal's level, while preserving the natural attack and bite of your playing by dialing in more dry, uncompressed signal. The volume control on the left determines the makeup gain you're sending to your output, and the sustain knob on the right sets the compression threshold to dial in the intensity of compression. In the middle you'll see Pigtronix's grit switch, which lets you add an intriguing distortion to your signal.

Sweet Inner Circuitry

Housed inside this pedal's protective and resilient chassis are the hardworking components binging your signal all of the treatment it deserves. With Pigtronix's diode-clipping electronics along and highly acclaimed Philosopher's Tone compression circuit, you can blend in the natural string dynamics of your playing for an awesome and surprisingly organic compression effect. For having such a simple control layout, this pedal is incredibly dynamic.

Endless Sustain Feature

When you turn down your compression, the effect is subtle and reminiscent of traditional optical compressors. Crank it up and slam your signal as far as it can go, and then you'll engage your Philosopher's Tone's endless sustain feature. Your note will ring out long after it's been hit in a captivating suspension that leaves anyone within earshot waiting in anticipation for more.
