Pigtronix shrinks Compression pedal favourite

Effects brand Pigtronix has revamped its Philosopher’s Tone Compression Pedal, introducing a more compact version.

The new Philosopher’s Tone Micro pedal ( £129 RRP) keeps the essential qualities of the original – parallel optical compression and unrivalled clean sustain – but in a new, compact chassis that runs on standard 9V external power.

In addition to volume  and sustain controls, the Philosopher’s Tone Micro features a parallel Blend knob that allows the musician to mix their instrument’s original tone with the compressed sound effect. This technique restores natural pick-attack and allows more extreme sustain settings to remain musical. The Treble control provides up to 6db cut or boost at 2KHz for fine-tuning the frequency response of the effect. 

Finally, the Philosopher’s Tone Micro features true-bypass switching and 9V operation, with internal 18V power rails for maximum clean headroom, even when used with hot pickups and line-level signals.
