Lusithand Devices Alma Compressor MK III

In Stock

The Alma Compressor MK3, an opto-isolator compressor, is an evolution of its predecessor; it retains all the original elements and it adds a few more…

Features:
A voltage doubler (internal circuit) doubles the voltage being fed. This makes it possible to have 36v when powering from an 18v supply. The pedal can be run from 9v to 18v (max).
The higher voltage operation significantly increases the headroom and prevents unwanted clipping/distortion, caused by hotter signals.

RATIO switch: select between 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 compression Ratios

ATK switch: select between slow and fast attacks.

-6db switch: -6db attenuation at the input

SHIFT eqz switch: select between 900Hz or 250Hz for the tilt EQ center frequency.

EQZ knob: A Tilt Equalizer, together with the SHIFT EQZ, allows to gently (and musically) compensate for different sounding instruments.

CLN knob: the Clean control, when mixed with the compressed signal, allows for parallel compression, which can help bring some of that clarity back to your playing. This acts as a Volume control for the clean signal.

COM knob: this is the compression amount. It acts, both, as the threshold and makeup gain.

VOL com knob: this is the volume for the compressed signal.
