Bondi Effects Squish As

Bondi Effects Squish As is the compressor you can rely on to preserve the richness of your tone while bringing out nuance you might never have heard before.

At its core, the Squish As features a best-in-class Blackmer® Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) and True RMS Detector. Optical and JFET compressors are popular for their musical character; however, this character often comes with increased distortion, limited dynamic range, and a somewhat unpredictable transfer function.

The high-end VCA and True RMS Detector deliver natural, high-fidelity dynamics processing. Use it to make notes sound more consistent, tame peaks, and boost subtleties; or add depth to your tone with parallel compression by setting the Ratio high and rolling back the Blend control. The Squish As is the perfect always-on compressor.

Full audio frequency bandwidth make the compressor suitable for a variety of input signals including bass guitar, and synthesiser. The noise floor is low enough that it can be used anywhere in the chain. Up to 20dB of makeup gain on the Output control and a tilt-style Tone control will ensure that nothing is lost along the way.

The pedal has a gain reduction VU meter which indicates the amount of gain reduction in decibels that is happening at any time. The compressor’s Attack rate is programme-dependent, meaning that the Attack is automatically set to a very musical rate based on the player’s input.

The pedal is powered by a standard 9 volts power supply (not included).
