The WHITE HORSE is an optical compressor pedal with additional features. The blend control allows for longer sustained notes without squashing dynamics. The drive threshold technology responds to picking intensity and adds grit as you play harder. The pedal has controls to fine-tune the punch and feel of the compressor for different instruments and playing styles.

The controls on the WHITE HORSE are as follows:

– BLEND: Blends between the dry (uncompressed) and compressed signals. Adding clean signal allows for added sustain without overly squashing dynamics.

– SUSTAIN: Adds gain/sustain to the compression stage. There is a lot of gain available, so it doesn’t need to be cranked to the max.

– LEVEL: Sets the output volume of the pedal. It can get very loud, so be careful.

– PRE-GAIN: Adjusts the amount of squish and sustain. It can be pulled back for high input sources like active bass guitars.

– DRIVE: Balances the gain section between clean compression and a saturated mosfet drive section. Setting the SUSTAIN between 2:00-3:00 and DRIVE between 11:00-12:00 creates a drive tone that cleans up with playing dynamics. Cutting some bass tightens up the drive tones.

– BASS: Sets the speed at which the compressor reacts to playing dynamics. Pulling it back creates a snappier attack, while pushing it forward smooths out sustain at high compression settings.

– SPEED: Sets the pre-gain bass cut. Cutting a touch of bass in compression can be helpful due to how the human brain hears different frequencies. Cranking it to the max creates a flat bass response.

Overall, the WHITE HORSE offers a versatile and customizable compression experience for musicians.
