Specializing in solutions for bassists, Ashdown presents the Velvet Compressor, a modern compressor designed for clarity and the "silkiness" of your tone. Integrated into the PRO FX series, it benefits from an 18 V power supply to offer superior dynamic range, exemplary signal-to-noise ratio, and premium construction built to last for years.
Ideal for the demanding beginner to the pro, it suits pop, rock, funk, gospel, metal, or session styles. In the studio, it stabilizes transients and extends sustain; on stage, it evens out playing without squashing the attack, whether you play fingerstyle, with a pick, or slap. Its simple operation makes it a reliable companion on any pedalboard.
First set the "Input" using the three-color indicator (the light blue zone is ideal), then adjust "Output" to maintain the same volume with the pedal on/off. The "Compact" potentiometer condenses key parameters (threshold/ratio/gain) while attack and release are automatically optimized to follow your signal. The true bypass footswitch, Neutrik connectors, anodized faceplate, and iconic sapphire LED complete a road-ready hardware.
Transparent and musical, the Velvet's compression respects the low end, articulation, and dynamics of your instrument. You get a sense of string-to-string uniformity, increased sustain, and a stronger presence in the mix, without pumping or loss of definition thanks to the 18 V headroom. Add a bit of "Compact" to smooth peaks, or turn it up for a solid, consistent studio-level output.
