This long-awaited product delivers the "API sound" achieved through the combination of transformer output and a 2510 op-amp in a compact size. It delivers the same excellent "API sound" with electric guitars, electric basses, and other line instruments. Features include a WET/DRY BLEND control and two compressor modes.
The "Feedback (OLD)" and "Feedforward (NEW)" styles allow for a wide range of tones. Two levels of attack and release (FAST/SLOW) allow for a wide range of sound creation, from suppressing signals with a strong attack to long sustain. It delivers extremely natural and musical compression. At the same time, it also allows for bold compression, preventing unnatural compression when left on, cutting, or slapping.

・Bypass While the "2510 op-amp" may be synonymous with the 2520, the 2510 is also used in numerous products. The 2510 is widely used in the EQ/dynamics sections of API's massive flagship "Vision" console. It's also used in the input paths of many other products, making it an essential part of creating the API sound. The generous use of the same parts as products costing tens of millions of yen ensures the "unique API sound" is maintained even in compact effects. Despite its pedal size, it features a large output transformer. 18V operation. This unit can also be operated at 18V. At 18V, the dynamic range is wider, dramatically changing the compression effect. The relationship between INPUT and SUSTAIN also changes, making it compact at 9V. It can be operated in a similar way to an effects pedal. At 18V, set SUSTAIN to the "-" (minus) side beforehand, and gradually add INPUT to balance volume and compression, giving it a feel similar to a rack-mounted device. ■Management Code: 4571239309616 Category: Effects, Electric Guitar Effects, Compressor/Limiter, Musical Instruments, Crafts, and Collections, Musical Instruments and Equipment, Guitars, Guitar Effects JAN/ISBN Code: 4571239309616 Product Code: mt0119963
