The Mad Professor Forest Green Compressor Sustainer Guitar & Bass Effects Pedal is a compression and sustain effects pedal, for guitar and bass players, featuring true bypass, and controls including LEVEL, COMPR, TONE, and a Compressor/Sustain switch. The Forest Green Compressor is designed to meet the highest standards of guitar and bass compression. There is extremely low noise throughout the range and a high overload margin, which allows also a wide dynamic input range at minimum distortion and noise.
The FGC is equipped with a special tone control to fine-tune the compressed sound for most transparent tone and effect. The pedal has a switchable compressor and sustainer mode. In Sustain mode you can get a very dynamic, touch sensitive tone with a long sustain. Here the attack is not lost, making the pedal suitable even for blues players and works great with slide playing. In Compressor mode the LEVEL control adjusts the overal volume and the FGC can be used even as a booster. In Sustain mode the LEVEL no longer adjusts total output but the level of the sustained part.
The COMPR control sets the amount of compression and sustain. Lower settings give mostly peak limiting, higher settings more compression and less touch sensitive response. At maximum, the output will be heavily compressed, while still retaining clarity at almost infinite sustain. A good starting point for this control is a bit below centre (ten o’clock) with most guitars. The TONE control on the FGC is designed to fine-tune the compressed sound for most transparent tone and effect. The COMPRESSOR/SUSTAIN SWITCH allows the attack and decay times to be carefully fine-tuned and internally set for swift attack and slow decay.
