Darkglass Super Symmetry B-Ware/Demo

The Darkglass Electronics Super Symmetry Compressor Bass Compressor Pedal offers all the transparency and precision of a modern compressor with the twist that its inherent envelope effect is reminiscent of old school compressors.

The ‘blend’ knob mixes the compressed and clean signals (like a Ratio setting on most conventional compressors), ideal for fast compression adjustment (to reduce it you can dial back the blend and avoid having to readjust your Input and Output levels for unity gain).

The ‘input’ adjusts the gain on the compressor. Besides working great for ensuring clean operation, it also allows for adjusting the threshold over which the compressor starts reducing gain. Higher input settings will result in higher levels of compression.

The ‘attack’ sets the time until gain reduction begins (higher settings will translate into faster Attack times) while the ‘release’ sets the time after which the signal goes back to pre gain-reduction levels. Higher release settings will hold the compressed signal for shorter time.

Finally the ‘compression’ sets the amount of compression (Peak Reduction) while the ‘Output’ sets the output volume level of the overall unit.
