Marshall ED-01 The Compressor Guitar Effect Pedal Overview:

Compression is perhaps one of the most useful FX available to any guitarist who is interested in improving their sound. The purpose of the Compressor pedal is primarily to allow you to modify sustain and attack. Using classic variable gain techniques the Compressor will provide masses of clean sustain, which can enhance any playing style.

The Compressor pedal senses the level of the incoming guitar signal and, as the signal level decays, the gain of the internal circuitry is boosted to provide extra level, hence sustain. The attack control modifies the dynamic response of the guitar signal (the effect of plucking a string) and allows you to achieve a range of effects from rounded and mellow chord sustain to muted, percussive funk lines.

The Compressor also features an Emphasis control, which allows you to assign compression and target the frequencies you want to compress. This means that you can, for example, tighten up or compress your bass notes and let your treble notes ring out.

Features:

• Out Jack
• This is the output of The Compressor and is for connection to the amplifier or to another effects pedal.
• Emphasis
• The Compressor allows you to specify which end of the aural spectrum you wish to compress. Select Hi if you would like to emphasise the treble in your tone to get that real twang and to compress the bass. This is useful for tight funky low note riffs with stabbing bright chords. Turning toward Lo gives maximum treble compression and hence a Lo emphasis.
• Volume
• Controls the volume of the pedal, allowing you to set the pedal for a boost or a drop in volume when in operation, should you so wish.
• DC Input
• For input of a 9V DC adaptor (as previously described) should you not wish to use batteries.
• LED
• Indicates when The Compressor is in operation.
• Attack
• This dictates how quickly compression comes in after pick attack. With this set at minimum you will get a rounder more spongy tone. As you increase the Attack the sound will get sharper and more metallic, which is ideally suited for funky styles.
• Compression
• This adjusts the amount of compression. The more you add compression, the more you iron out the peaks and troughs in your sound. This increases the amount of sustain and makes for a smoother guitar tone.
• In Jack
• This is the input jack, for connection to your guitar or to another effects pedal.
• Foot Switch
• For switching The Compressor on and off.
