Hour Glass

Jackson Audio builds premium effects in Fort Worth, Texas, combining analog circuits with digital control features like MIDI and presets. Their collaboration-driven approach has produced signature pedals with Joey Landreth, Cory Wong, and Mateus Asato.

The Hour Glass packs two independent OTA compressor circuits inspired by the Ross. Each channel has its own Comp, Blend, and Volume controls plus three-way switches for Attack (Fast/Medium/Slow) and Treble (Flat/Medium/High).

Run one compressor for subtle sustain or stack both for infinite sustain. Attack times range from 100ms to 1600ms. The Blend control lets you mix dry signal back in for parallel compression. Runs 9-18V, 60mA draw, compact 2.5 x 4.25 inch footprint.
