T-Rex Squeezer - Pedala compresor

Squeezer is a tube-driven compressor for studio, guitar and bass use. It smoothens out your sound and keeps you right where you want to be in the mix – while enhancing your sound with rich tube warmth. And it naturally gives you complete control of all essential parameters, letting you craft a compression that’s all your own.

Bass players tend to get buried in the mix – and it’s not just because guitarists are always turning up the volume! Your bass has a low frequency range, which makes it difficult for the human ear to distinguish in the first place. And the techniques bass players use – from atmospheric open-string drones to popping and slapping – cover a wider dynamic range than almost any other instrument in your band. Squeezer evens your dynamics out, making your lines come through at the right level, no matter how you’re playing.

The first set of sound files are made by Italian bass player Fabio Trentini

Compressors can be complicated, but Squeezer keeps things simple – giving you full control over compression ratio, threshold, attack, release, gain and overall level in a neat, logical design. This makes Squeezer great for use on stage, where you don’t have time for fiddling with too many knobs. But don’t be fooled by this pedal’s elegant design. It’s a full-featured precision instrument that can be fine-tuned almost infinitely – for a perfect sound in the studio as well as live on stage.
