Velvet Compressor

The Ashdown Velvet Compressor pedal features a simple single control compression, requiring an 18-volt power supply. Its dimensions are 63 x 108 x 120 mm, and it weighs 0.6 kg. The pedal's advanced circuitry allows the "Compact" knob to adjust several parameters simultaneously, including Gain, Ratio, and Threshold, while Attack and Decay are pre-set to suit the passing signal. The pedal is designed to maintain consistent sound dynamics and volume when switched on/off, with the "Input" and "Output" level controls facilitating this. The "Compact" control allows for precise adjustment of compression, ensuring consistency across all notes. The pedal is part of Ashdown's PRO FX range, manufactured in the UK using selected components from top manufacturers, and designed to be powered from a linear isolated 18V supply for optimal signal-to-noise ratio and minimal background noise. The pedal is constructed with robust steel housing and anodized front fascia, featuring genuine Neutrik Jack sockets and a sapphire-colored illuminated LED.
