Bass Compressor Guitar Pedal, Optical Circuit with Attack/Release/Ratio/Tone Control & Bypass (SCYLLA R-27)

OPTICAL COMPRESSOR CIRCUIT STUDIO-LEVEL TRANSPARENCY: This pedal incorporates an authentic optical compressor circuit using a light-dependent resistor (LDR), delivering smooth, musical compression that balances dynamics without compromising your tone. Optical compression is valued in professional studios for its clear, high-headroom responsemanaging peaks and enhancing sustain while maintaining your bass's inherent character. Users often note the tone as "remarkably quiet"a low-noise CMOS design that surpasses numerous compressors. 6-KNOB ACCURATE CONTROL ATTACK, RELEASE, RATIO, TONE, INPUT
& OUTPUT: Shape your ideal compression with six dedicated knobs. ATTACK determines how swiftly compression activatesfast for smoothing aggressive pick attack, slow to retain punchy transients. RELEASE manages the duration compression is appliedshort for tight, percussive playing, long for smooth sustain. RATIO selects compression intensity from gentle 2:1 to strong limiting. TONE offers distinct timbral flexibilitybrighten for presence, or darken for a warmer thump. INPUT and OUTPUT enable precise gain staging for any bass, from passive single coils to active humbuckers. DESIGNED FOR BASS YET ADAPTABLE FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS: While tailored for bass guitar, the transparent optical circuit makes it equally effective with electric guitar, acoustic instruments, and even keyboards. Employ it to tighten slap bass dynamics, smooth out fingerstyle passages, add sustain to clean leads, or control volume peaks in any signal chain. The subtle, musical compression will not alter your core toneit simply makes everything sound more refined and professional.
ROAD-READY R SERIES CONSTRUCTION: True bypass switchingensured by a relay designmaintains your instrument's natural tone when the pedal is off. Housed in a durable aluminum alloy casing, it features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch on the bottom. The smooth, responsive chrome knobs and robust footswitch are constructed to endure heavy use night after night. A subtle gain reduction indicator LED displays compression activity in real time. It belongs to the R Series, assembled with enhanced precision components. Operates with a 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included).
Rated current: 100mA. Battery operation is not possible. For the quietest performanceparticularly with high-headroom optical circuitsutilize a regulated, isolated 9V power supply and refrain from daisy-chaining with other pedals
