名前の如くベルベットのようにスムーズで滑らかなコンプレッサーです。アタックタイムコントロールにより、艶やかなアルペジオからロングサステインのリードプレイ、立ち上がりの速いカッティングなど、さまざまなプレイに対応します。サステイン幅は広く設定してあり、リミッター的な使い方から強いコンプレッションまで、クリーンサウンド、ドライブサウンドを問わず幅広いサウンドメイキングが可能です。
- As the name suggests, the Providence VLC-1 Velvet Comp provides smooth, lustrous compression. An attack time control makes it possible to match the compression to a range of playing styles from arpeggios through long sustain to crisp chording.
The Velvet Comp's wide sustain range gives it extended sonic versatility, delivering outstanding performance whether used as a limiter, as a strong compressor, for clean sound, or with drive.
- In standard true bypass circuits, the instrument signal passes through two switch contacts when bypassed. The VLC-1 Single Contact True Bypass configuration ensures that the signal only passes through one switch contact when bypassed, for unmatched signal quality as well as reliability.
- In addition to indicating the pedal's on/off status, the Velvet Comp LED provides effective visual battery power monitoring. When the battery voltage drops below 7 volts the LED will become dimmer and begin to go out. The effect will still operate at this voltage, but to ensure optimum performance the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
