The Lazy Comp is an optical compressor, fully adjusted upstream by us. On the front, there is a single setting: the BLEND (dry/wet), it? blends clean and compressed sound to your desire. How it works !? The sound entering the Lazy Comp is copied into 2 paths that will be named afterwards, clean and comp. This is possible because of quality buffers, inspired by the . High dynamic and 0.01% THD guaranteed! At the output of the effect, we find a potentiometer of MIX (described previously). Set to 0%, we have the original sound of the guitar. At 100%, the sound is compressed as on a standard compressor, which gives a pump effect on the volume and a lack of dynamics. But if for exemple we set the mix pot at 60%, we have a very interesting mix of clean and comp ! Now let's analyze the comp path, we first find what we call a Tone Builder, a few months of research have allowed us to find the ideal analog preamp channel for a warm clean, which goes perfectly on Funk/Pop/Country riffs. This is followed by the optical compression cell! In this one we fixed in hard the most annoying parameters, that even inexperienced users of compressors (ie all guitarists, even us, yes true!) can not have a shity sound ... ! It remains to adjust the compression and the output volume, already preset for you by the factory, but for the curious who would be among you, the trimpot are still there! For info, the Comp setting will saturate the preamp if you push it fully, be careful! With 2 small diodes it is easy to get a subtle overdrive, but hey, we're not there for that, right ?! The volume control is very useful because pushing the Mix makes it possible to have a difference in volume between the two paths. This one is able to catch up the difference of volume. Result? An in-com-par-able sound (modest, true?)! An intelligible mix, offering warmth, roundness and slamming, what more?
