Famous for its noiseless clean sustain, the Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Micro Compressor / Sustain Pedal has staked its claim in the crowded world of compressor pedals.
In addition to Volume and Sustain controls, the Philosopher’s Tone features a parallel Blend knob that allows the musician to mix their instrument’s original tone with the compressed sound effect. This technique restores natural pick-attack and allows more extreme sustain settings to remain musical. The Treble control provides up to a 6db cut or boost at 2kHz for fine-tuning the frequency response of the effect.
The Philosopher’s Tone features true-bypass switching and internal 18V power rails for maximum clean headroom, even when used with hot pickups and line level signals.
Key Features:
Knob-by-Knob
- Volume: Sets the overall output volume.
- Sustain: Sets the amount of sustain.
- Treble: Boosts or cuts treble at 2kHz.
- Blend: Mixes your compressed effect with your clean signal.
Rare Design
Generations of guitar players have sought noiseless clean sustain from a compressor, and this was the guiding goal of the research and design behind Philosopher’s Tone, yielding a compressor with an internal 18 volts of headroom and naturally musical tone control.
