Shame its missing the one control I require on my guitar pedal board Compressor

"Blend" -

Thats why I used a Barber Tone Press for past 10 years

and the competition is adding this important "Blend" control  too






"BLEND"  control is important as that allows the user to adjust the a mix of clean dry  uncompressed tones vs compressed tones to pass to the units output

without the Blend control - I tend to loose all my fast transient initial note attack when playing fast notes
( I leave mine at 9:00 o clock - to pass mostly clean dry guitar  - then I experience the bloom of compression on long sustained whole notes


I leave my Barber Tone Press on all the time - allows me to play like this without damping my note attack








Luckily the mono Tone Corset includes the BLEND knob

That intro track is a cover of King Crimson's "Elephant Talk".  Really nicely done!  And he also does a little section from their song "Frame by Frame".  I just saw King Crimson two nights ago in Minneapolis.  Classic band.

This sounds like a nice addition to the EH lineup, very nice warm and clear.  I particularly liked the segments where the drive knob was employed to warm up a clean guitar and the part to where an overdriven guitar sounded like it was going thru a small tube amp (the first example where the drive knob was employed).

And Bill if you're reading this: I know that guitar has a locking tremelo bridge: HOW did you do the pedal steel bend without the guitar going wildly out of tune!?!?!?!  Amazing.

Great sound and facilities, but the design!  ??? Putting such big knob son pots so close together is such a bad idea. Coming from a background in mixer and rack equipment design, that's in ergonomics 101.
