Coax great tone from any guitar.
A highly effective clean boost pedal [when set appropriately], the Alien Comp pedal allows you to optimize the dynamics of your tone while pushing your tube amplifier into sweet overdrive. This pedal plays nicely with humbuckers and even single-coil pickups, allowing you to coax great tone from any guitar.
Versatile compressor that’s capable of everything.
With a ratio range of 2:1 to 10:1, the Alien Comp is capable of everything – from subtle smoothing to hard-stop compression. Its Output control has plenty of gain on tap to push your amp hard. Just back off on the Ratio while pushing the Sensitivity to about three o’clock. Then, boost the Output control to taste.
Sensitivity – use the compressor as a clean boost. Start by setting the Sensitivity control to about 3 o’clock.
Ratio – back the Ratio control off by setting it to the 10 o’clock position.
Output – set the Output control to achieve the desired amount of clean boost to your amp.
