The Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone is a state-of-the-art analog compressor/sustainer pedal designed to provide endless clean sustain. It features variable Sustain (threshold), Blend (ratio), and Treble controls, offering a wide range of compression sounds for musicians. The pedal also includes a smooth diode clipping distortion with a blend control for clean or dirty compression sounds and any mixture of the two.
The Philosopher's Tone is an ideal front end to any guitar pedal rig and a perfect companion to the Pigtronix Mothership Guitar Synthesizer or any other pitch-tracking musical equipment, resulting in even more accurate tracking and increased note duration. Unlike many compressor clones and their variations, the Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone is not based on a CA3080 chip, offering more sustain and less noise than outdated devices. Its dynamic range, touch sensitivity, overall transparency, and outright sustain are unparalleled in the crowded world of compressor pedals.
