The Sawbones is a noise-free, full-featured optical compressor that’s ideal at the beginning of your signal chain as a tone conditioner or boost.
In addition to it not adding any noise to your signal, the Sawbones is transparent, meaning it leaves the sound of the rest of your rig intact while you dial in the compression level you want. A rail-to-rail, studio grade JFET opamp, combined with the ability to run up to 18 volts, means you’ll never have issues with headroom.
A clean control allows you to mix in your uncompressed dry signal, so there’s none of the ‘dullness’ you might hear when using compression.
While some compressor pedals include a ‘tone’ knob, the Sawbones offers a full, active tone stack with bass and treble controls to help you dial in the exact sound you’re after.
