The Barber Tone Press is a revolutionary performance compression pedal that has no rival...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn research and development, Barber studied the problems associated with classic guitar compressors and their recent clones and found that, while the clone-makers build pedals with improved components (cleaner switching, in particular) and matched transistors, a few of the major drawbacks of those “vintage” designs still exist. The most glaring drawback of popular classic compressors is that they reverse the guitar’s phase and cause a “pop” that squashes the attack at the beginning of every note. Although we now see some compression units that have attack controls, they leave a bit to be desired as they require seemingly endless trial and error tweaking , and still no true solution to gracefully removing the pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParallel compression\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe solution\u003c\/strong\u003e. a Barber innovation that blows away having to deal with attack, ratio and release knobs of other so-called \"studio compressors.\" Barber developed a one-of-a-kind proprietary continuous “\u003cstrong\u003eblend control\u003c\/strong\u003e” circuit, and combined it with a discrete “Class A” FET mixer circuit to allow you to continuously blend the natural signal of your carefully selected guitar with a “phase-corrected” classic compression circuit. The result? What guitar players have always wanted, unaltered attack and supernatural sustain and resonance.
