The new, updated Dedalo FX Gorila GOR-4 optical bass compressor takes its inspiration from the classic LA-2A studio effect. It has parallel compression and everything you need for a solid low-end thump.
Dedalo FX Gorila GOR-4
This is the latest incarnation from the Argentinean pedal maker, and it aims to provide bass players with a solid studio-quality compressor in a pedal format. It now utilizes a brand-new op-amp for the gain stages, with a higher-spec’d, studio-grade chip, making it even better for your bass rig.
LA-2A
With a design inspired by the LA-2A family and a separate circuit stage of analogue limiting, plus a threshold that can be adjusted with a side trim-pot. This compact yellow stompbox certainly has all the tools a modern bass player requires for compression.
Tilt EQ
You have a clean-signal blend control, and a Tilt EQ centred at 250hz. With the control in the middle, the EQ is flat. The EQ is applied to the already compressed signal.
The gain control is used as makeup gain control to bring your compressed signal up to match the level of your bypassed signal. Along with controls for Compression, the aforementioned Blend knob, Attack and Limit mini control on the top corner of the unit. All controls do exactly what you would expect and it looks nice and easy to operate, which I think is always a good thing for compression pedals.
Finally you have a handy compression indicator LED along with true bypass switching.
Each pedal comes with a two-year warranty, and you can buy direct from their site from the link below. You can check it out in the demo video below as well.
