FULL DESCRIPTION
The TUX compressor is specially engineered for dynamic sound modification. It uses a passive, sound transparent optical system designed not to alter the original sound and making it virtually noiseless.
Tux operates in two different switch-selectable modes:
SOLID - clean, pure sound, very dynamic with a distinctive punch
TUBE - compression characteristic for tube design. This option gives a harder compression and warmer sound.
The Tux Compressor is a pedal that you will really enjoy for its excellent response, great dynamics, and accuracy of sound. We have designed and built-in, as standard, the internal voltage converter, which increases the voltage of the power supply up to 24V eliminating any problems especially when working with active electronics installed in the guitar.
The 24V power conversion within the Tux pedal provides extra headroom offering even greater sound dynamics and incomparable performance over traditional effects pedals powered by 9V. Tux uses standard power supplies ranging from 9 up to 12V.
Main info
Analog guitar compressor with an optical system,
Power Supply voltage range - 9-12V,
Polarity Auto Detection - allows using either center-positive or negative polarity on the power supply,
True Bypass - in OFF mode your instrument's original signal goes through, bypasses all electronics components,
DC assistant protection against signal loss. If connected or the voltage is lower than 6V the effect is automatically switched to the "bypass" mode,
DC Converter - Built-in voltage converter which increases the voltage of effect's power supply to 24V. It guarantees a very high sound dynamic (headroom) and eliminates any problems related to active electronics installed in the guitar.
Power consumption: 40 mA (max),
Controls
LEVEL - overall effect volume,
Character Switch - change between SOLID and TUBE effect,
Compress (COMP) - bandwidth range of compressed sound adjustment, the sound can be compressed in the whole band, or only to limited bandwidth (band-threshold)
Punch - attack’s dynamics adjustment. Soft -fast attack / Sharp - slow attack
