Start your signal chain with the best possible version of your guitar tone. Treat your guitar signal to true studio-quality analog compression with two distinct voices for smooth transparency or vintage squeeze. Hit the Boost switch to add a clean boost or soft-clipped dirty boost, with the EQ curve of your choice. Mix in some dry signal for a natural attack even with extreme compression settings. Feel the perfectly tailored dynamic response, feeding your amp and effects just what they need to sound their best.
