ELECTRO HARMONIX BLACK FINGER.
The only optoisolator photocell/dual vacuum tube compressor pedal
on the market! What does that mean? The Electro-Harmonix Black Finger
Compressor Pedal uses the same professional-grade techniques that the
most revered, vintage and mega-thousand dollar, high-end studio
compressors use, except that it's in the form of an affordable, compact
foot pedal! 2 different light sources (LED and lamp) provide distinctly
different readings and offer uniquely varied compressions. One tube
handles the compression stage while the other manages the gain stage.
And unlike other "tube" hyped products on the market, which use 9 to 50
volts, the Black Finger's design allows a full 300 volts of swing to be
utilized. This makes it a true tube compressor in every sense.
Whether
used as part of an effects loop or with direct guitar, bass or voice,
the Black Finger will give music the type of treatment that simply
cannot be achieved via plug-in emulation or with any other analog or
digital product that doesn't cost thousands of dollars.
The Black Finger effects pedal breathes life and warmth into any musical instrument or recording and makes it sound magical.

HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:
Sound Quality: 10
I love it. I've only used a few compressors but I like this one the best.
Sound Quality: 9
The
nicest sounding compressor pedal I've ever used. It is very
smooth and warm compression. No harsh treble boost or extrme squashing
that kills your dynamcs. The lamp mode gives a slightly different
attack response from the LED mode which is faster. My favorite setting
is lamp and sqsh with a high compression setting. It gives a great
vintage sounding compression for guitar or bass. I'm looking forward to
using it on vocals and other miced sources.

The best. Makes everything sound fat and round and succulent. This is the greatest thing ever.
Sound Quality: 10
Being
its a dual tube (12ax7)x2 you automatically get very warm tone. Warm
and gooey fat tube tone baby. Now I've used tube preamps before and it
was warm but the sound was very colored. The BlackFinger lets the tubes
do all the talking without the circutry. The circutry and electronics
in this are EXTREMELY TRANSPARENT!! Again very warm, and the tubes do it all, no cheep electronics/circutry to color the tone.
