PettyJohn Crush Compressor
Description
A rack unit quality compressor the size of a foot pedal.
There are two main parts to this compressor: The RMS sensor and the Discrete VCA.
The RMS Sensor: a complex array of circuitry that analyzes the input signal and produces a real time RMS (Root-Mean-Squared) measurement of it. This measurement, of the average level of the signal, can then be utilized to control how much gain the VCA needs. Simply put, automatic level control!
The Discrete VCA: the core of this compressor. It’s specially made for us by the company that makes our Discrete Opamps for the LIFT, Predrive and Filter Deluxe. It was initially designed as a drop in upgrade/replacement for vintage SSL consoles and DBX comps, along with several famous mastering compressors. Think of it this way, the discrete VCA itself functions as an automatic gain knob, adjusting the output gain as the RMS sensor tells it the input signal is too high. Like a pedal-sized elf making sure your volume doesn’t get to loud.
The discrete VCA is surrounded with Burr Brown buffer stages for a very short but highly effective signal path with very few audiophile parts in the audio path. Couple all of this with the pre-amped parallel Clean Mix and you have a pedal that is to good to ever turn off. The perfect always-on pedal that you can place anywhere on your board.
