The Bus Driver compressor pedal draws heavy inspiration from the mix bus compressors found in vintage SSL mixing desks, offering the capability to achieve either transparent or extremely squashed studio-quality compression with user-friendly controls. The LED bar provides a precise visual representation of the gain reduction.
Compression
Change the threshold to control the compression amount.
Makeup
Adjust the output level to compensate for compression.
Attack
Adjust the attack time constant within the range of 0.1 milliseconds to 30 milliseconds.
Release
Adjust the release time constant within the range of 0.1 seconds to 1.6 seconds.
Ratio
Choose the compression ratio between 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1.
Auto Release
Press and hold both buttons to deactivate manual release control and activate automatic release. Auto release adjusts the release time according to the dynamics of the input signal, ensuring transparent compression.
SC HPF
The sidechain high pass filter reduces the bass frequences before the envelope detector, resulting in a fuller sound as lower frequencies trigger less compression. The filter settings are bypass, 100 Hz and 200 Hz.
