The Warden is an optical compressor with a feature set usually reserved for studio grade units. Built with high grade components and internally powered by 18v, The Warden has loads of gain and sustain on tap. With complete control over attack, release, sustain and ratio, The Warden will allow everything from a heavy squash with fast attack and release to “barely there” subtle compression. Optical compression has a reputation for having more character than a VCA or FET-based compression and The Warden is no exception.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554833316081_128114\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Tone: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis pedal was designed to slightly colour your tone, and the coloration can be dialed-in to your taste. Counterclockwise is treble cut, clockwise is treble boost. The tone is nearly flat around 11 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Attack: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis controls how quickly the compressor reacts and starts leveling the signal. All the way counterclockwise is a fast, nearly immediate reaction. Turning the attack clockwise slows the reaction time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Release:\u003c\/strong\u003e This controls how long it takes the signal to raise back up to the level determined by the \u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRatio\u003c\/strong\u003e settings.

Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e This determines how much the gain reduction affects the signal. All the way up is full compression and the compression is reduced as you turn this counterclockwise which allows more of the boosted, less-compressed signal to come through.
