Frequently Asked Questions
This is designed to be much more transparent; it's about evening out dynamics, not heavy limiting or pumping.
It’s a parallel blend, meaning it mixes the compressed signal with the dry signal – giving you more tonal flexibility and avoiding the 'loss of dynamics' often associated with straight compression.
It works beautifully with both! The transparency ensures it won't color the humbucker's tone, and the boost is great for pushing them into overdrive.
