FEATURES
Discrete Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) based Compressor
The CRUSH compression circuit is based on a high performance, high headroom Discrete VCA chip made especially for Pettyjohn Electronics.
First pedal utilizing a Discrete VCA normally found in Top Studio compressors with optimize performance for Electric, Acoustic and Bass instruments
Lower Distortion and low noise, along with highly transparent tone sets this chip apart from other VCA’s on the market.
Classic Compression Controls
RATIO: Three classic ratios, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1, that cover a wide range of compression styles
RELEASE: Three release settings, FAST, MEDIUM and SLOW
COMPRESSION: Sets the compressor threshold level and thus increasing the amount of compression as you turn it clockwise. Wide range to accommodate high output guitars and basses without overloading or over compressing
LEVEL: Sets gain of the VCA to make up for gain reduction that happens during heavy compression or function as a volume boost/li>
High Performance Power:
Dual-rail power section with 12V to 18V center tip negative operation range, providing 24V-36V of voltage swing for huge internal headroom while drawing around 150mA
Note: Some 9V power supplies will power the CRUSH as long as they supply 150mA, you can try it.
TILT EQ Tone Shaping
The TILT EQ simply offers a wide range of tonal control with a single knob, with a center frequency of 750 Hz.
CLEAN MIX Control
Mix in a clean, un-compressed signal to restore lost transient information and feel. Especially useful when high levels of compression are dialed in
