12AU7 Compressor - Tube Pedal

$249.00

The 12AU7 COMPRESSOR is a boutique all-analog vacuum tube pedal designed to offer the most transparent compression available, providing sustain without sacrificing articulation. Its feed-forward side-chain and custom opto-resistive attenuation produces a soft knee, as opposed to hard limiting, providing a very natural presentation without pumping effects. This will be your always on pedal with tons of clean headroom. It doesn't change your tone, only the feel of your rig. Works on vocals too!

"Much better than the Boss CS-2, that I’ve used for years. I would recommend this pedal to anyone that wants a Compressor that has a softer sound to it, this pedal accomplishes that... If you're looking for a device that provides Compression, this is your company... Yet Another Great Pedal to come out of Hagerman Technology... Finally a pedal company that knows what it’s doing..."
"I got the new comp today, it’s great!!! I had a chance to put it through its paces using my AKG studio phones. It’s totally dead quiet at any setting and the EQ is intuitive like a tone control on a passive bass. Full is flat and as you turn it back, it just gradually rolls off the highs. It doesn’t not pump or breathe whatsoever and the compression is effective from zero to full. This is one fine pedal."
