Steam
Analog compressor with Auto/Manual Attack/Release, Detail control, Threshold/Ratio/Gain—29mA@9V, 380g, true bypass.
The Steam delivers fully analog, highly versatile compression designed for guitarists seeking complete control over dynamics. Six primary controls target professional compression scenarios: Threshold (compression onset point), Ratio (Amount knob for intensity—low ratio for gentle leveling, high ratio for aggressive squashing), Attack (response speed—fast for immediate compression, slow for preserving pick attack), Release (recovery duration), Detail (dynamic nuance adjustment), and Gain (output level compensating for gain reduction).
Auto/Manual toggle switch provides two operation modes: Auto mode analyzes signal and automatically adjusts Attack/Release timing for musical compression without manual tweaking, Manual mode provides complete control for specific compression characteristics. Hardwire true bypass maintains signal integrity when disengaged. Entirely analog design preserves harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity. Input impedance 470kΩ, output impedance 2.2Ω.
Dimensions 94x123.5x53mm (with switches/sockets), 380g weight, standard 9V DC center-negative power at 29mA draw (mains adapter not included). The Steam targets players seeking studio-quality compression in pedal format, suitable for recording, live performance, and any context where dynamics control enhances consistency—from country chicken-picking to funk rhythm to sustained lead tones where even dynamics matter more than natural variations.
