The Tux MK2 by Taurus is a compressor-limiter pedal specially designed for dynamic sound modification. It features a passive, sound-transparent optical system that is engineered not to alter the original sound, making it virtually noiseless. The pedal operates in two switch-selectable modes:
1. Solid Mode: Provides a clean, pure sound with high dynamics and a
distinctive punch.
2. Tube Mode: Offers compression characteristic for tube design, delivering a
harder compression and warmer sound.
Key Features:
- Level: Overall effect volume adjustment
- Character Switch: Allows selection between Solid and Tube modes
- Compress: Compression level (ratio) adjustment
- Range: Bandwidth range of compressed sound adjustment, enabling compression
across the entire band or within a limited bandwidth
- Punch: Adjusts the attack's dynamics, offering options for soft-fast attack
or sharp-slow attack
- Power Supply: Voltage range of 9-12V, compatible with power supplies within
this range
- Polarity Auto Detection: Allows the use of either center-positive or
negative polarity on the power supply
- DC Assistant: Provides protection against signal loss, automatically
switching the effect to bypass mode if disconnected or if the voltage drops
below 6V
Specifications:
- Dimensions: 65 x 96 x 144mm
- Weight: 0.5kg
The Tux MK2 is suitable for use in various musical applications where dynamic sound modification and compression are desired, making it a versatile tool for musicians and audio professionals.
