*Originally Uploaded 2008* The Barber Tone Press Compressor is a unique little guy in the world of guitar compressors. Using their proprietary Parallel Compression circuit, Barber adds a continuous Blend control coupled with a Class A FET mixer to blend the dry signal with a "phase corrected" compressed signal. This leaves your attack snappy and lets the compression give you sustain for days! Any other compressor pedal do that? All of this with just the turn of one knob instead of micro-tweaking your Attack, Ratio, and Release every time you set up in a new room.
The Barber Tone Press is awesome! Learning from the mistakes of the vintage compressors, Barber has developed a compressor pedal that is truly usable in the world of guitar. Most compressor pedals reverse the signal, that out-of-phase compression is what causes the squashed attack. The Parallel Compression of the Barber Tone Press keeps your attack intact! The Barber Tone Press Compressor pedal keeps the country twangin and the metal heads bangin while giving you the best of a compressor (infinite sustain anyone?) without the headaches.
