Trace Elliot Dual Band Compressor Pedal

Maximize Your Bass Tone The new Trace Elliot Dual Band Compressor delivers classic dual band compression for any bass guitar application. The sturdy, compact pedal gives bass players control over their tone under any circumstances. Whether in the studio or live on stage, compression is critical to a bass guitar signal. The compression enhances consistency in dynamics and allows the instrument to simply sit better in the mix. With separate LO BAND and HI BAND controls, the Dual Band Compressor allows the player to adjust the amount of compression separately for the best results. Built in make-up gain is applied after the compression to maintain the original volume level or desired loudness. The separate INPUT LEVEL allows the player to adjust the input volume of the instrument while the OUTPUT LEVEL adjusts the volume of the output leaving the pedal. Having the individual controls makes this pedal adaptable to all types of signal and line level scenarios. And with its true bypass operation, this pedal integrates seamlessly into any signal chain. With its ¼” input and outputs and black domed knobs, the Dual Band Compressor is built to endure any hard-hitting performance with a rugged die cast enclosure and top shelf components. Bipolar 18v internal supply is achieved from any standard 9VDC power supply or battery. Classic Dual Band Compression Separate controls for Low and High bands allow you to achieve your ideal balance of sub-pumping weight, midrange punch, and top-end snap and definition. Optimized Make-Up Gain Make-up gain is automatically applied for seamless balancing with other components in your signal chain. Wide Dynamic Range The bipolar 18V (-9V/+9V) internal power supply preserves the full dynamic range of your bass signal from a 9V battery or DC power source. Input and Output Gain Controls Maintain optimal gain staging in your signal path whether you’re using passive pickups, active pickups, or even line-level signals.

Why We Like This

Separating low and high compression helps keep the bottom end controlled while retaining attack. Independent input and output levels make it easier to fit the pedal around active or passive instruments.

FAQs

Q: Can the lows and highs be compressed separately?
A: Yes. Separate Low Band and High Band controls set compression in the two frequency regions.

Q: Can I use any power adapter that fits?
A: Match the required voltage, current, polarity, and connector. A physically fitting plug is not enough.

Q: Does it replace a speaker cabinet?
A: A signal-processing pedal does not itself produce room sound; route its output to suitable amplification or recording equipment.
