756 EFFECTS MENU
Compressor: The heart of this pedal is the
modeling of a simple floor-board effect's typical
control circuit, which is based on an FET (field
effect transistor). FET compressors are famous for
their speed, high degree of sustain, and above all
for their character at comparably low switching
complexity. Of course, the guitar signal may also
be compressed subtly or only the attacks may be
enhanced specifically.
Bass Compressor: The basic circuitry of this
Stomp Box is comparable to the "normal" (guitar)
compressor. Under the hood, adjusted
specifications control at decisive positions to
provide bassists with consistently solid sounds.
The Bass Compressor works frequency
selectively, i.e. very deep frequencies trigger the
process less intensely than mids or highs. This
enables the Drive controller to be used to produce
a good foundation and thrust.
Twin-C: This compressor pedal divides the
instrument's frequency range into two ranges (low
& high) and sends these to separate compressor
stages. This separation helps to avoid pumping
artifacts or other typical problems caused by
broadband compressors. The stomp selects
control times automatically. Basically, very short
attack times are applied to the upper band, while
longer times are applied to the lower band. Twin-C
enables slap bass sounds with extreme punch to
be created easily, which offers a very sturdy
foundation and a sound that "goes straight at
you".
