Boutique amps and effects pedals can cost an
absolute fortune. However, with our range of effects
pedals the need for those specialist and expensive
units is at an end. Each one has been carefully
designed to give you the best possible range of
performance and maximum amount of control for the
minimum of cost.
Equally important, when you press the ‘off’ button,
your sound will return to being 100% pure and
untouched thanks to their completely passive bypass.
ED-1 Edward the Compressor
Add sustain to solos, even out attack and get rid of unwanted peaks
and troughs. For liquid leads, funky clean chords or choppy yet
consistent chicken pickin’, call on Edward the Compressor.
In addition, target the frequencies you want to compress with the
Emphasis control, which means that you can, for example, tighten up
or compress your bass notes and let your treble notes ring out.
Features: Controls for Emphasis, Volume, Attack and Compression.
Solid metal construction and passive bypass.
