Presentation
The Smooth Impact stands out for its ability to deliver truly natural compression thanks to its use of the Nutube, a next-generation vacuum tube.
Unlike traditional compressors that use VCA, optical or FET circuits, this compressor exploits the non-linearity of tubes to generate characteristic harmonics that bring warmth and character to your sound. This unique choice gives your guitar an organic sound that you won't find with a traditional compressor, and that can truly transform your recordings or live performances.
The Smooth Impact's 3 modes are designed to meet a variety of playing situations.
- Vintage mode offers strong compression, ideal for percussive sounds with a strong attack,
- Natural mode preserves more of the playing feel without the compression being too obvious. The latter is perfect for guitarists looking for subtle compression, especially for modern styles like tapping or backing lines.
- Sagging mode recreates the compression and distortion found in vintage tube amps, delivering a more compressed and distorted sound that is perfect for solid-state amps or digital modelers.
The pedal features a sleek and elegant design, with an engraved top panel that reflects the unique look of each effect. This sleek design blends seamlessly into your pedalboard while providing a distinctive visual statement. This is a product that stands out not only for its sound, but also for its appearance. The Smooth Impact is an obvious choice for those looking for both performance and aesthetics.
