The NICOMPRESSOR (pronounced âNigh Compressorâ) offers distinctive tone shaping capabilities. It achieves exceptional compression dynamics while keeping higher-frequencies intact, making your guitar sound incredibly full and fat, without compromising your tone. In seeking to honor, improve, and expand this concept, Catalinbread developed a broader range of functionality and finely-tuned controls.
BASS & TREBLE
âș Expanding on the concept of uncompromising tone, these knobs boost desired frequencies, bringing them to the surface.
âș The Treble brightens your tone, making it sparkle, even when compressed.
âș The Bass enhances the lower-frequencies and increases sustain when turned up.
GAIN
âș The Gain allows you to experiment by adding some grit or grain to your sound.
COMPRESSION
âș Staying true to its inspiration, this single knob design allows you to find the sweet spot and make adjustments simply and effectively.
