Aguilar announced the TLC DLX Compressor EQ, which the company describes as an expanded evolution of its TLC Compressor pedal12. The pedal was shown at NAMM Booth 680212.
The compressor section carries Threshold, Attack, Release, Ratio, Output and Blend controls12. An integrated LED gain-reduction meter shows how much compression is being applied, and the Blend control allows parallel compression12. According to Aguilar, the Output control compensates for gain reduction to make unity gain easier to achieve12.
The tone section is inspired by Aguilar's DB 925 boost circuit, with boost-only Bass and Treble controls12. The company says the pedal is intended as a compact channel strip for a pedalboard, suited to stage and studio use12.
"The original TLC Compressor has been part of so many players' rigs for years, and the TLC DLX is a natural evolution of that idea"
Bass Magazine lists the TLC DLX Compressor EQ as available now2. The Bass Musician report does not give a price or availability date1.
