Description

The Krozz Devices Hammerhead is an incredible compressor, clean boost and tone shaping pedal, creating beautiful tones and delivering powerful attacks! This versatile compressor pedal adapts to any musical scenario, offering unmatched flexibility and sonic possibilities.

Equipped with a VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) compression system, the Krozz Devices Hammerhead allows you to recreate the iconic sounds of classic compressors like the DynaComp and Ross Compressor while also exploring new sonic territories with its additional controls. The Blend control enables you to blend the clean sound of your instrument with the compression produced by this mighty hammerhead shark. Additionally, the compressor pedal features an active circuit that transforms it into a remarkable clean boost when needed. The Filter and Voice parameters further expand the pedal's tonal palette, offering a wide range of equalisation options. Whether you're a fan of "pop" sounds or crave some "greasy" tones, the Krozz Devices Hammerhead has got you covered.

Now, let's dive into what a compressor pedal does. Compressors are magical effects that tame the volume peaks of your instrument, reducing the gap between the softest and loudest signals and keeping them within a predetermined range known as the 'Threshold.' Any signal exceeding this range is gently brought back into line.

The benefits of using a compressor are numerous. By levelling out the signal, compressors enhance the presence of harmonics, extend sustain, and minimise the volume differences between notes played with varying intensity.

But wait, there's more! The Krozz Devices Hammerhead has a broad range of applications that cater to guitarists of all genres. They are particularly valuable for players who thrive on groovy rhythmic styles such as Pop, Soul, Funk, Country, and LoFi. Compressors also prove to be indispensable tools for fingerstyle players. When we pluck the strings with different finger strengths, the intonation of certain notes can be unintentionally altered. A compressor corrects these imbalances, ensuring consistent note articulation.

Furthermore, the Krozz Devices Hammerhead can be combined with other pedals to unlock even more sonic possibilities. For instance:

• Placing the Krozz Devices Hammerhead before modulation effects adds clarity and definition to the modulated sound
• Before fuzz pedals, drives, or distortions helps to control excessive frequencies and achieve a more balanced tone
• Positioning after filter pedals like wah wah enables volume spikes caused by the filter to be managed effectively

If you're curious about the notable artists who rely on compressors, you'll find names like Cory Wong (Vulfpeck), Mateus Asato, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Santana, and many more in the esteemed compressor enthusiasts club.

So, get ready to unleash the sleak power of the Krozz Devices Hammerhead and take your musical journey to new depths. This pedal is a must have for every guitarist seeking unparalleled dynamics, enhanced tones, and a touch of sonic magic.

Controls

Deep dive into the user friendly controls of the Krozz Devices Hammerhead

• PRESSURE: Adjust the pedal compression level for varying degrees of compression on the signal
• ATTACK: Set the response time of the effect, clockwise for longer response ideal for rhythmic playing, counter-clockwise for immediate compression suitable for leads
• BLEND: Mix the clean sound with the compressed signal, from fully closed for only compressed signal to fully open for clean boost without compression. In the middle, a 50/50 blend of effect and clean sound
• FILTER: Control a frequency filter that shapes the signal before entering the compression system. Lower settings reduce treble frequencies for a closed sound, clockwise for more treblish tones
• VOICE (Switch): Choose from three frequency filter modes within the compression system: UP (Normal), MID (Bright), and LOW (Dark)
• LEVEL: Adjust the pedal's output volume to compensate for signal variations caused by other controls
• CLIPPING (Trimpot): A hidden internal control that limits the signal entering the compression system, preventing distortion with high output instruments. Adjust as needed for different instrument types, keeping it fully clockwise for guitars with conventional pickups
