Trace Elliot Launches Dual Band Compressor Pedal for Bassists
Trace Elliot has officially introduced the Dual Band Compressor, a new compact pedal designed to give bass players greater control over their dynamics in both live and studio settings.
Built around a classic dual-band compression design, the pedal features independent controls for low and high frequencies, allowing users to fine-tune how their bass sits in the mix. This approach helps balance low-end weight with clarity and definition across the full frequency range.
The Dual Band Compressor also includes input and output level controls for flexible gain staging, making it suitable for passive and active instruments as well as line-level signals. An integrated make-up gain stage ensures consistent output after compression is applied.
Housed in a rugged die-cast enclosure with true bypass operation, the pedal is built for reliability on stage. It also utilizes a bipolar 18V internal power supply, derived from a standard 9V source, to maintain wide dynamic range and headroom.
