Love Squeeze compressor distortion...?

[sockdeluxe_mike]

Hi all,

I've just taken delivery of a Rothwell Love Squeeze - I quite like it already, but past about 1/2 way of the compression knob a little bit of distortion starts creeping in (this is especially obvious on the bridge pickup of my Lakland 44-01 that I've been using the Rothwell with) and I think it seems to happen at most volume settings of the compressor's output.

I've tried using a 9V power adaptor through it instead which made a very slight difference, as I suspected the battery might be a little flat inside, but not a great deal.

I'm thinking this could possibly be remedied by a trimpot inside the pedal, or a higher 'V' adaptor to give the pedal more headroom (it says that it can take any adaptor between 9-18V)?

Thanks all!

I'm running mine on 9V and have not experienced anything like what you're describing. Although, I typically run the compression on mine down around 10 o'clock.

I could not get mine to distort when I had it, even with very high input levels (higher than a hot active bass). I'd suggest emailing Rothwell for advice.
