Product Description
The Aguilar TLC Compressor is a remarkable musical tool that allows musicians to masterfully control their dynamics in a musical and flexible manner. Ideal for both recording sessions and live performances, this pedal packs a punch with its proprietary Trans Linear Control (TLC) circuit. Despite its compact size, it delivers unparalleled performance. With a four - knob layout, it offers a comprehensive set of essential features. You can easily adjust a wide range of attack times, variable threshold, and slope levels to achieve the perfect sound. This compressor provides a level of control typically found only in high - end studio compressors. Key features include a threshold control variable from - 30 to - 10 dBu, a slope control ranging from 2:1 to infinity, an attack control from 10ms to 100ms, and a level control from - infinity to - 3dBu. It also has low distortion (<0.2 %), a gig - saver bypass, and is powered by a nine - volt battery or an optional universal power supply. Built with heavy - duty steel, it has one 1/4″ jack for input and output, an engage switch, a three - year limited warranty, and an optional 9 - volt power supply.
Using the Aguilar TLC Compressor is quite straightforward. First, connect your bass guitar to the input 1/4″ jack and your amplifier to the output 1/4″ jack. You can power it with a nine - volt battery or an optional universal power supply. Once it's powered on, use the four knobs to adjust the sound according to your preference. The threshold control helps you set at what level the compression starts, ranging from - 30 to - 10 dBu. The slope control determines how much the signal is compressed, from 2:1 to infinity. The attack control adjusts how quickly the compressor reacts to the incoming signal, with a range from 10ms to 100ms. And the level control helps you balance the output volume, from - infinity to - 3dBu. When you're done with a gig or a recording session, make sure to turn off the pedal using the engage switch. If you're using a battery, remove it when the pedal is not in use for a long time to prevent leakage. To keep it in good condition, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. And remember, it comes with a three - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, you can reach out for support.
