Apex VCA Compressor

The Broughton Audio Apex VCA Compressor is a studio-grade VCA compressor pedal designed for precise dynamic control and clean, transparent compression. Utilizing a THAT Corporation voltage controlled amplifier (VCA), the Apex offers a wide compression ratio range, adjustable threshold for both line-level and low-output instruments, and up to 20 dB of make-up gain. A variable high pass filter in the side chain allows for compression adjustments without affecting low-end frequencies, particularly beneficial for bass instrument compatibility. The pedal includes a real-time compression meter, true bypass switching, and operates on a standard 9V DC power supply. **Features:** - VCA compressor pedal with THAT Corporation VCA chip - Adjustable compression ratio from subtle to limiting - Switchable threshold for line level or low-output instruments - Variable side chain high pass filter for bass instrument compatibility - Real-time compression meter visualizes applied gain reduction - True bypass switching
