Utilizing a VCA in the compression circuits allowed for careful tuning of the exact response and dynamics desired for each voicing. For Studio mode, the goal was to achieve the musical and transparent sound found within some of the favorite studio rack units and the best vintage studio console bus compression. Careful tuning of the detection circuit granted exacting control over decay, especially important for Squeeze mode. With ample sustain on tap, Strymon paid special attention to creating a completely smooth decay, with no unwanted pumping artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_7\"\u003eThe Best of Analog and Digital\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Class A JFET input circuit, to the VCA-based compression, to the Clean Boost and\r\nthe diode soft clipping Dirty Boost, every aspect of Compadre’s audio signal processing is fully\r\nanalog, with premium quality components, design, and workmanship throughout. The audio\r\nsignal is never converted to or from digital.\r\nIn Compadre, the digital aspect comes in the form of digital control and programmability. By\r\nconverting digital control messages to analog control voltages, Compadre can offer full MIDI control and recallable presets while preserving a completely analog signal path from end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450728542311,"sku":"159260","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/strymon-compadre_137301_1_1_de5f0652-dea9-4d16-8c37-d9010d6ed3ef.jpg?v=1787094274","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/strymon-compadre-dual-voice-compressor-and-boost-pedal-demo-deal","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
