Already mentioned in another thread, but I think it deserves its own.
It was introduced at the Bass Player Live 2009 shows last weekend. Anybody that was there can give us more info?
From Dave Boonshoft on another thread:
"It's pretty special. Uses a very cool trans linear control (hence "TLC") to enable us to create a compressor with very high performance. It's a feed forward design with "medium knee" that is very musical.
The slope goes to infinity, which is unusual in a stomp box, it's very easy to adjust attack, threshold, slope and level to get exactly the compression characteristics that you want. The low end is full and clean, and it also kicks butt on guitar. Of course, I am a little biased; but I'm very very happy with the way the TLC has turned out."
It's the blue box on the photo:

I'd love to hear the comp!

Joe, I agree, it looks rubbish (to me anyway) but I can hope it sounds good  .

IMHO I expect pedals from a company like Aguilar to be a professional tool, not a status symbol or designer piece of artwork to make chicks swoon and guitar players jealous.
If they sound great I don't care what they look like or what they're name is.
I know this outlook is completely foreign to 90% of the traffic in the Effects forum. |

As long as the pedal does the job Thats all I care about. I don't spend top dollar on a pedal because it looks pretty or has a fancy name.
I think the name is great because it is what it is. A compressor pedal.

does it run on regular power? if so, even with mediocre performance, that thing is so pedalboard friendly... if it can limit an envelope filter ill take the pluge.. |

But yeah, I prefer "C1, "Tube-Comp" or whatever to "Robot-based Sex God", etc. Lots of companies go for "the stupider, the better" names and graphics to get attention. |
