There is no pedal in the world not meant to bring us good tone. The Calvin Compressor features an OTA-based, transparent circuit and is a great start to your chain and is ultimately tweakable with five knobs and a voicing switch to attenuate treble frequencies, making it a great fit for electric, bass and acoustic guitars. Also features soft touch relay bypass.
