There are two things in particular I love about the PC-2A.

The PC-2A rolls of those harsh, digital overtones and nasty transients. Itâ€˜s also an invaluable companion to your digital recording interface, such as Line 6 PODs or even in front of a computer running Guitar Rig or similar. Itâ€™s versatility allows you to hook it up to any instrument or vocal mic. The PC-2A Compressor is designed to operate as a studio unit. Perhaps a bit too much for your rhythms but very nice on heavy distortions and leads. Switch over to the limiter mode and squeeze the last drops of tone out of your guitar. Your overdrives and distortions are covered in smooth velvet with the sweetest sustain imaginable.

Increase the compression and your cleans sings and it feels like your fingers are dancing up and down the neck.

Your overdrives and distortions gets more focused and sustained. A mild compression will tighten up your cleans, add a bit of twang and punch. After all, itâ€™s not as evident as a distortion or a delay. Iâ€™ve been trying to figure out how to describe this pedal. Once you find your settings on the PC-2A, thereâ€™s really no turning back. But, forget everything you know about pedal compressors. The PC-2A is far from your average pedal compressor and you may even find it a bit hard to set up and incorporate into your tones, if youâ€™re used the more familiar solid state counterpart. See Effectorde.Com for more technical details. The PC-2A feature true bypass switching, and easy to see status led and it runs on 12V adapter. A mini toggle switch at the top of the pedal, allows you to switch between standard compression mode and a limiter, for even punchier squeeze. The TRex-sized box feature a gain control, based on a resistive photocell, limiting the amount of distortion entering into the signal and a peak reduction control. The PC-2A feature a pure analog tube circuit producing a huge headroom and a very quiet, natural sound reproduction. They canâ€™t really replicate the compression you get from those old tube studio units. Most stompbox compressors often sound a bit too aggressive and sterile though. But too much compression can do the opposite and completely choke your tones. Cleans gets nice and squeezed and overdrives, smooth and balanced. Itâ€™s really essential for beefing up your single coils and getting that rich sustain. Iâ€™ve always used compressors, including all the vintage classics like the Boss CS-2, MXR script DynaComp, Ross etc. The Effectrode PC-2A Compressor offer high-end vintage studio compression in a single stompbox. However, a compressor is a powerful tool for enhancing your tones and squeezing that little extra out of your pickups. Compressor pedals may not be on the top of your shopping list and if you do have one, it might be the case of it causing more harm to your tones, than good.
