Heather Brown Electronicals Darlene Compression Effect Pedal

Unlike Jolene, the Heather Brown Electronicals Darlene Compression is here to give. When it comes to questions of compression it’s often a give and take – though many times it's a fear of take without a lot of give. Compressors can be tricky pedals to nail. Sometimes you're dealing with so much dynamic flattening, tone suck, and undying hiss you're not sure why you started in the first place. Heather Brown Electronicals sets out with Darlene to remedy all of the above and make compression something not to tolerate but to welcome with open arms.

Like we said, compressors can be tricky. "How do I make it sound good?" Heather Brown Electronicals introduces the Darlene Compression to cut that question off before it even arises. Darlene is a blissfully simple compressor designed with three easy controls and an intentionally transparent and neutral tonal profile. Fully analog, Darlene is meant to do as a compressor is meant to do: Provide sustain and attack without squashing the nuances of your tone or dulling your playing dynamics. The two primary controls on Darlene shape the length of its compressing sustain and the mix of the effect in the signal. Together, these features make for a seamlessly shapeable and adaptable compression to set-and-forget and cause no headaches to adjust, should tastes change.

Darlene works with a high-fidelity compressing palette made to slip quickly into the fold of the rest of your rig. This experience elevates with the pedal's optional eighteen-volt power operation that bumps up the headroom and carefully enhances the character of the compression. Darlene is everything you need and nothing you don't for a foundational effect that is reliable and inspiring at every step.

"Darlene, Darlene, Darlene, Darlene... I'm begging of you, please don't take my man."
