Next at ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com, we're putting the squeeze on the CRUSH, from Pettyjohn Electronics. The CRUSH is the compressor for folks that have tasted the warmth, clarity and dynamics of real studio compressors and want to bring that magic to the stage. By stripping the CRUSH down to its core elements and the rebuilding it, the CRUSH eliminates the pumping action found in most pedal compressors and lets your tone sing through the squash. Just like those high-end studio pieces, the CRUSH is an RMS compressor, and so it doesn't limit peaks as harshly as its pedal contemporaries, giving you a much more natural, artifact-free compression experience. The heart of the CRUSH is a discrete VCA chip that was designed specifically for the Crush, and is of the same type found in classic British consoles. This chip ensures that your signal touches only premium componentry at all points in the circuit. The Pettyjohn CRUSH has a feature set just as impressive as its internals, with controls for everything from Ratio to a tilt EQ and blend feature. The Ratio toggle starts at 2:1 and goes up to 10:1 for some serious squish, while the Compression knob features three distinct ranges of operation that complement the Ratio toggle. Modern features such as a 750hZ-centere Tilt EQ and the clean blend knob help you zero in on precise levels of compression. The CRUSH also runs on up to 18 volts for a 36 volt voltage swing that translates into a super-high headroom that can handle any level of gain you throw at it. And just like all Pettyjohn pedals, the CRUSH is made with the finest parts money can buy right here in the Pacific Northwest.
