Description

BusDriver

This pedal is designed for guitarists and bassists who want precise control over their dynamics without sacrificing signal purity. Inspired by the legendary SSL compressor used in professional studios, it offers remarkable sonic transparency while ensuring a strong presence on stage and in the studio.

A studio compressor in pedal format

The BusDriver brings the precision of analog console compressors to a compact format, ideal for demanding musicians. Thanks to its fully analog VCA circuit, it stabilizes the volume while respecting the natural color of the instrument. Unlike compressors that crush the signal, this one preserves all the expressive dynamics of your playing.

Versatility for guitar and bass

Whether you're a guitarist looking for natural sustain or a bassist wanting perfectly controlled rhythm lines, the BusDriver adapts to any situation. Its intuitive controls allow you to achieve subtle compression for accompaniment as well as tight control for percussive parts.

Comprehensive and ergonomic controls

The pedal offers precise control over essential parameters: compression level, output volume, attack, and release. Three selectable ratio levels allow you to shape the intensity of the compression, while three adjustable high-pass filters ensure optimal management of low frequencies. The built-in VU meter makes it easy to visually monitor the processing.

Reliability and ease of use

Built to last, the BusDriver features a true relay bypass system, ensuring an unaltered signal when the effect is disabled. Its silent footswitch ensures smooth operation, even in the middle of a concert. A dedicated selector switch also allows you to enable or disable the pedal when powering up, a detail appreciated by musicians who use complex pedalboards.
