Silky Groove SG-1C

Compressor inheriting the core circuit from the well-regarded Silky Comp SC-1, with the addition of a dedicated dry mix circuit that many guitarists and bassists had requested. The DRY MIX control blends compressed and uncompressed signal with careful phase alignment between the two paths to avoid the separated, hollow sound that plagues many parallel compression pedals.

Four controls: SUSTAIN sets compression depth, ATTACK controls the initial transient strength, DRY MIX blends in clean signal, and LEVEL sets output. Built around Free The Tone's HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit for impedance conversion that preserves the instrument's native timbre—operates differently from conventional buffer circuits.

Compact 72 x 115 x 50mm enclosure at 230g. Runs on 9V battery or adapter drawing just 7mA.
