Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Fairfield Circuitry The Accountant Compressor Pedal.
Every operation needs an accountant, and your signal chain is no exception. This little guy will fit right in, no questions asked. Call upon his services to crunch numbers, cook your books and calculate ratios in all confidence that your shit will remain tight. Compression as an effect is a form of dynamics
control; that is to say controlling the difference
in volume between loud parts and quiet parts.
We’re talking about a mostly utilitarian relationship here, but one of trust as well. Whether you enjoy slight, nuanced dynamics control or you just want to squeeze your signal into one dimension, you’ll find a use for The Accountant.
Featuring all analogue, JFET feedback compression, The Accountant works well with all signal sources; guitars, bass, vocals, synths, even whole mixes. A simple control interface allows you to change the threshold, compression ratio and makeup gain.

Compressor
A compressor is an essential tool in shaping your sound, particularly for controlling the dynamic range of your instrument. It works by reducing the volume of louder sounds while boosting quieter ones, resulting in a more balanced and consistent tone. This effect can add sustain to notes and smooth out any harsh volume spikes, making the overall sound more polished and professional.
When used on guitar or bass, a compressor can tighten up your performance and help your instrument sit better in a mix. Controls on a typical compressor pedal include Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release, which allow for precise control over how much compression is applied and how it reacts. Popular compressors include the MXR Dyna Comp, Keeley Katana Blues Driver, and Electro-Harmonix Soul Preacher.

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.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
