Shnobel Tone Introduces Compressor Pedal
Shnobel Tone has introduced its first compressor pedal, simply called the Compressor. The design is an optical compressor with a four-knob control layout. The company says the key to the pedal is its Blend knob, which allows for finding the balance between your compressed and dry signals. It also has a specialized Tone knob.
“The Tone knob offers dual functionality: at 12 o’clock noon setting the effect is flat,” Shnobel writes. “Turning the knob to the right rolls off some highs and brings out mids and lows, making the pedal sound warmer and beefier. Turning the knob to the left of 12 o’clock brings up higher frequencies for a brighter, airier tone.”
The Shnobel Tone Compressor is available now for $279.
