The Pulp 'N' Peel V4 is a compressor, preamp and DI in one pedal. Its parallel compression circuit has a Parallel Blend control for mixing compressed and uncompressed signal, so the instrument keeps its natural attack, and the noise floor stays very low. An active EQ knob cuts or boosts the high end.
A Dirt mini toggle adds grit, and a low-profile gain control on the side of the pedal sets how much, from gentle warmth to a solid gritty base. The volume control has more headroom and output than before, enough to use the pedal as a full-frequency boost. Alongside the 1/4" output there is a balanced XLR output for going straight to a board or interface, with a ground-lift switch for hum from ground loops. JHS says it works especially well on bass and is worth trying on acoustic.
The 3 Series Compressor is the simpler route with Attack and Sustain. The Pulp 'N' Peel adds the blend, EQ, dirt and DI for players who want one compressor for the board and the studio. Buffered bypass with soft-touch switching. Built in Kansas City.
