A cool and sleek outer chassis houses the top-notch Philosopher's Tone circuitry, and holds up well to the tests of time through every stomp. This compressor pedal also lets you dial in endless sustain, keeping your output ringing out long after you've hit your note.

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
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.
