EFEKTOR CP3603 Compressor

For Firm, Better, Well-Balanced Guitar Tracks

Completing your virtual pedalboard with our Efektor series, now introducing: KUASSA CP3603 Compressor unit. This unit is a result from the endless research of many compressor pedals, a lot of characteristics and finally, we narrowed down everything into one st unit that can represent many other compressor pedals in a straightforward package.

Compressor FX Engine

Will suppress the loudest part of the incoming audio signal, based on the specified threshold. Following the ‘compression’, it will increase the softer signal, narrowing the dynamic range thus delivers a more consistent overall level.

Guitar players. Bass players. They are the same. They love long sustaining notes. A Compressor is the one thing that should help with that desire. It is an effect that does not always sound too obvious, but when taken away, it surely will be missed. A compressor will suppress the loudest part of incoming audio signals, based on the specified threshold. Following the ‘compression’, it will increase the softer signal, narrowing the dynamic range thus delivers a more consistent overall level. And please take note, although this unit is designed specifically for guitar and bass players, you can also use it on any other instruments as well. Well, why not?

There are three types of compression style in this unit:

1. VCA: Stands for “Voltage Controlled Amplifier”. It’s fast, modern, and sounds very clean. 
2. FET: Stands for “Field Effect Transistor”. Known for its aggressive behaviour and also adds distinct colour to the resulting sound. 
3. OPTO: Shorts for “Optical”. It has the slowest reaction but gives more characteristics and tightness to the result.
