Thanks to the all-analog circuitry youll be able to able to apply generous levels of compression to tame any bass whilst still retaining the instruments natural qualities. Comprised of just three knobs this pedal is perfect for “evening” your performance to ensure every last nuance is heard whilst still retaining the full weight of your low-end. Master the art of compression with the Swollen Thumb. Please Note: For more information and sound examples click here. This pedal does not come with a power supply. One can be purchased here. . Available from Just Pedals for only £ 24.99 Compression made easy Using compression well is seen by some to be a “dark art”. The Swollen Thumb makes it easy to apply compression to your signal in a way that works for you. At the heart of this intuitive pedal lies three controls; Attack Sustain and Level: Attack – This dictates how quickly it takes for gain reduction to be applied to the signal. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the time it takes whilst turning it anti-clockwise will decrease.If you play with a pick and your part sounds too percussive then you can smooth out your performance with a fast attack time. This is excellent in helping to “smooth” the signal by reducing sharp transients (the initial part of the waveform) allowing the bass to sit well in the mix. Slower attack times yield more punch and aggression allowing your bass to cut through particularly dense arrangements you’ll find this useful on rhythmic performances. Sustain- This (also known as release) determines the length of time it takes for the compressor to bring up the volume of the source to match that of the input level. This takes place once the source goes below the set threshold level. Adjusting the sustain knob allows you to decide whether your bass “pumps” or “breathes”.Slower sustain times are great for smoothing out the dynamics of a performance allowing you to push the bass further back into the mix. However be careful not to have too slow a sustain time as this can drain the life out of your performance. A faster sustain will bring out every nuance of your performance allowing you to achieve a denser thicker tone that most bassists strive for. Although too quick a release time can result in undesirable pumping artifacts. If this occurs increase the release until the effect reduces. Level- Allows you to increase or decrease the output of the pedal to make up or compensate for gain reductionSpecifications Product code: SZ-MSP-BC Input Impedance: 470k Ohms Output Impedance: 1k Ohms Power Supply: AC adapter 9VDC 500mAh centre negative sold separately – 9V Compact Power Supply by Gear4music / 9V Compact Power Supply with Euro Plug by Gear4musicCurrent Draw: 3mA Dimensions (W x H x D): 70 x 115 x 50mm Weight: 245g The latest in music technology for modern musicians and producers.

Bass

In the realm of guitar effects, “bass” pedals are designed specifically for bass guitars, enhancing their low-end frequencies and allowing bassists to shape their tone and explore new sonic possibilities. These pedals cater to the unique characteristics of the bass guitar and provide various effects to modify its sound. For instance, overdrive and distortion pedals add gain and saturation, giving the bass a gritty or distorted tone. Compression pedals help even out dynamics by smoothing out the volume of loud and soft notes, resulting in a consistent and punchy sound. EQ pedals enable bassists to sculpt their tone by boosting or cutting specific frequencies, allowing them to emphasize certain parts of the sound or compensate for room acoustics.

Other popular bass effects include envelope filters, which produce dynamic filter sweeps in response to playing dynamics, adding rhythmic groove to bass lines. Octave pedals generate harmonies one or two octaves below the original note, creating a fuller and more powerful sound. Modulation effects like chorus, flanger, and phaser add depth and movement by modulating the pitch or phase, creating swirling textures and enhancing the overall presence of the bass line. Lastly, delay and reverb pedals introduce ambience and spatial depth, adding echoes and reflections that enhance the sense of space in music. These diverse effects allow bassists to expand their sonic palette and express their creativity in numerous ways.

Compressor

A compressor pedal is an essential tool used in guitar playing to control the dynamic range of the instrument’s signal. Compressors work by reducing the volume of loud sounds and boosting the volume of softer sounds, effectively narrowing the dynamic range of the guitar signal. This results in a more consistent and sustained sound, with smoother transitions between notes and chords.

Here are the key features and functions of a compressor pedal:

1. **Threshold**: The threshold control determines the level at which the compressor begins to engage. Signals above this threshold are compressed, while signals below it remain unaffected.

2. **Ratio**: The ratio control determines the amount of compression applied to the signal once it exceeds the threshold. For example, a ratio of 4:1 means that for every 4 dB the input signal exceeds the threshold, the output signal will be limited to 1 dB increase. Higher ratios result in more aggressive compression.

3. **Attack**: The attack control sets how quickly the compressor responds to changes in signal level once it exceeds the threshold. A fast attack time will clamp down on peaks more quickly, while a slower attack time allows more transient peaks to pass through unaffected.

4. **Release**: The release control determines how quickly the compressor returns to its normal state after the signal falls below the threshold. A shorter release time will result in quicker recovery to normal signal levels, while a longer release time provides more sustain and a smoother overall sound.

5. **Level (or Output)**: This control adjusts the overall output level of the compressed signal, allowing you to match the compressed signal with the rest of your effects chain or amplifier.

Compressor pedals offer several benefits to guitarists:

– **Increased Sustain**: By levelling out the volume of notes and chords, compressors can extend the sustain of the guitar signal, making notes ring out longer and creating a smoother, more consistent sound.

– **Improved Note Clarity**: Compressors can help even out the volume levels of individual notes within chords, making them sound more balanced and defined. This is particularly useful for fingerstyle playing or intricate picking techniques where note clarity is crucial.

– **Enhanced Dynamics**: While compressors reduce the dynamic range of the signal, they can also enhance the perceived dynamics by bringing quieter passages up in volume, resulting in a more expressive and responsive playing experience.

Overall, compressor pedals are valuable tools for guitarists seeking to control their instrument’s dynamics, increase sustain, and achieve a more polished and professional sound. Whether used subtly to smooth out peaks or aggressively to add punch and presence, compressors can significantly enhance your guitar tone and playing experience.

Guitar Effect Pedal

A guitar pedal, also known as an effects pedal, is a device used by guitarists to alter the sound of their instrument in various ways. These pedals are typically small, foot-operated units that are connected in a signal chain between the guitar and the amplifier. They can modify the guitar’s tone, pitch, and dynamics by applying different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Guitar pedals come in both analog and digital formats, and they allow musicians to create a wide range of sounds, enhancing their musical expression and creativity. They are essential tools for guitarists in genres ranging from rock and blues to jazz and electronic music.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
