Basswitch Dual Band Compressor

The Basswitch Dual Band Compressor by Lehle is a high-end compressor pedal designed specifically for bass instruments. It features two fully-fledged high-end compressors working in two adjustable frequency ranges, allowing for effective and harmonious compression of bass signals. The pedal intelligently links parameters like attack and release, dynamically adjusting to the bass signal, resulting in intuitive, simple, and fast operation, which is beneficial for live performances.

Key Features:
- Equipped with two high-end compressors working in two adjustable frequency ranges
- Variable compression ratios from 1:1 up to 10:1, providing a variety of possible sounds
- Blue LED indicator shows the intensity of compression
- Soft knee characteristics for a smooth and subtle transition to the compressed sound
- Bypass mode can be changed from Buffered-Bypass to True-Bypass
- Input voltage is rectified, filtered, stabilized, and doubled to 18V for necessary headroom
- Robust construction with protected controls and indestructible switching mechanism

The Basswitch Dual Band Compressor is designed to contour fast staccato passages, define slapping lines, and concentrate the sound smoothly. It can function as a limiter or balance out small peaks, catering to a wide range of playing styles and sound preferences.

The pedal's construction quality is top-notch, featuring a relay-based "true bypass" or a high-quality transparent buffered bypass. It runs on standard Boss-type 9V DC, or up to 15V, with the voltage internally brought up to 18V for higher headroom, reducing the chance of clipping. The pedal also features an on/off LED that indicates the amount of compression when engaged.
