Description

This next-gen COMP/EQ maintains the classic circuit architecture while increasing range and functionality. The new EQ section allows you to sculpt your tone in the same box that squashes it (that’s a good thing). Furthermore, the new Attack switch allows you to go from the signature ultra-snappy Diamond comp style all the way to softer transparent compression.

Whether you’re looking for the snappiest compression to compliment your intricate funk leads, or soft transparent style compression to just add that perfect final touch to your tone, the Diamond Comp/EQ can do it all.

Place the Comp/EQ at the very beginning of your signal chain for a traditional compression effect or place it at the very end of the chain to act as a limiter. Need a boost? Place the Comp/EQ behind your drives and fuzzes with the Comp set low to send your leads soaring!

Compressor

A compressor evens out the dynamics of a guitar signal by reducing the difference between loud and quiet notes. It adds sustain, tightens the overall sound, and can enhance clarity and consistency, making it especially useful for clean playing, funk rhythms, and smooth lead tones.

EQ

EQ, or equalisation, is used to shape the tonal balance of a sound by boosting or cutting specific frequency ranges. Common controls include bass, mid, and treble, or more detailed bands that allow precise adjustment of problem areas or tonal character.

EQ is an essential tool in guitar rigs, recording, and live sound, helping instruments sit properly in a mix and sound clear without unwanted harshness or muddiness. It can be used subtly to refine tone or more aggressively to dramatically reshape a sound.
