Key Features
- Blend Control – The blend control can give from 100% dry, to 100% compression mix, so you are not limited to only “50/50” (half blend).
- Fast Compression – The speed toggle switch adds a “fast mode” which is perfect for percussive playing without loss of attack.
- The “Brilliance” Toggle – The “Brilliance” toggle adds a very subtle and polished sheen to the treble frequencies.
Controls
The blend control can give from 100% dry, to 100% compression mix, so you are not limited to only “50/50” (half blend). Some of the best parallel compression sounds are achieved with very high sustain settings and more than 50% dry-blend. There’s little point to a parallel compressor than can only take you half way there!
There are 2 additional toggles one for “speed”, which adds a “fast” mode which is perfect for percussive playing without loss of attack. There is also a “Brilliance” toggle which adds a very subtle and polished sheen to the treble frequencies.
A remarkable Tonal Breakthrough
In research and development, Barber studied the problems associated with classic guitar compressors and their recent clones and found that, while the clone-makers build pedals with improved components (cleaner switching, in particular) and matched transistors, a few of the major drawbacks of those “vintage” designs still exist.
The most glaring drawback of popular classic compressors is that they reverse the guitar’s phase and cause a “pop” that squashes the attack at the beginning of every note.
Barber developed a unique continuous “blend control” circuit, and combined it with a discrete “Class A” FET mixer circuit to allow you to continuously blend the natural signal of your guitar with a “phase-corrected” classic compression circuit. The result? What guitar players have always wanted, unaltered attack with supernatural sustain and resonance. No studio engineering degree required.
Handmade, Hand-Soldered
The Exacta Vintage Fuzz has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior. The Five Watt World Plus Boost pedal has a generous 2 1/2” of clearance between the front edge of the footswitch and the back edge of the knobs, no fear about accidentally changing your settings with each click of your footswitch.
