EMMA Electronic DiscumBOBulator
More images:
The EMMA Electronic DiscumBOBulator is a compressor pedal that uses an optical sensing element to control gain reduction, which gives the compression a smooth, responsive character. Its control set includes a threshold knob that sets the input level at which compression begins, a ratio control that determines how much the signal is reduced once the threshold is crossed, and an output level knob to compensate for any volume loss caused by compression. A dedicated attack control adjusts how quickly the compressor responds to peaks, allowing either a fast clamp-down on transients or a slower, more gradual effect. The pedal also features a release control that sets how long it takes for the gain to return to normal after the signal drops below the threshold, which shapes the overall envelope and sustain of the notes. An internal trimmer provides additional adjustment of the optical cell's response, letting players fine-tune the feel of the compression to match their playing dynamics. The unit operates on a standard 9V DC power supply and is housed in a compact, rugged enclosure suitable for pedalboards.

- The Best Envelope filter out there. The Qtron has More Parameters, and the Mutron has more of a synthesizer sound but also has much more noise. This one quacks like a duck and has true bypass. Hard to find a bad setting. I own them all, as the Envelope filter is me favorite effect tied with analog delay. These are cheap and work just GREAT., Highly recomended!!!
- Good Points: Hard to find a bad setting. Unlike the Mutron where you search, search then search some more, or the Qtron, where there are so many knobs you just get confused. This is a one trick poney that does it well. Perfection. Bravo Emma!!!
- Bad Points: can't think of any!
- Price Paid: US$185.00
