E=mcompressor
Norrland's E=mcompressor is a captivating compressor pedal that defies convention. Designed around the LM13700 Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), it tackles a common issue with OTA-based compressors - noise. Norrland's ingenious solution places the OTA in the feedback loop of a TL072 op-amp, cleverly reversing the gain and restricting feedback at high gain settings to dramatically reduce unwanted hiss. But the innovations don't stop there. The E=mcompressor features a unique feedforward side-chain design, which allows you to precisely control the attack time - a parameter often locked down on most compressors. This gives you unparalleled control over your tone's dynamics, from lightning-fast response to a more gradual, musical compression. To ensure your signal doesn't get dulled by heavy compression, Norrland has also included a treble boost circuit. This intelligent feature maintains clarity and sparkle, even when squeezing every last drop of sustain from your guitar. Rounding out this pedal's impressive capabilities are the standard compressor controls - Ratio, Threshold, and Release. Dial in just the right amount of squeeze, from subtle thickening to near-infinite sustain. The Level control provides essential make-up gain, restoring your signal to its former glory. Whether you're a country picker, blues rocker, or ambient soundscaper, the E=mcompressor is a masterful tool that will elevate your playing and tone. Norrland has truly pushed the boundaries of what a compressor can do.
