Seymour Duncan SFX-09 Double Back Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal Overview

Seymour Duncan's SFX-09 Double Back Compressor is a stompbox that won't get in the way of your unique sound. Simply put, a compressor makes quiet passages louder and loud passages quieter, making your sound more "professional" by providing smooth dynamics and enhanced sustain.

The third is the Attack control, which determines how fast the compressor responds to each pick attack. The range of this control is enormous. At its fastest speed, the compressor action is almost instantaneous—the guitar sound is compressed as soon as the pick releases the string. At medium speeds, the initial organic thunk of the guitar body gets through before the compressor acts. At the slowest speed, a massive explosion of sou
