From the site:
The Squeeze Box is one of the industry’s best kept secrets. It is a studio quality optical compressor/limiter living in a stomp box. It looks like a gadget, but don’t judge a book by its cover. It gets used for electric musical instruments for sure, but it also gets used on vocals, drums, piano, and anything else that a studio rack unit would be expected to do. The really good news is that once you finish in the studio, you can take it with you and have the same studio quality compression at the gig. It goes from transparent to aggressive and back again effortlessly and offers expanded controls to shape your tone. Boasting a super low noise floor, amazing frequency response, and a classic all tube design, you may find yourself hard pressed to find a better opto compressor, rackmount or otherwise.
Loaded with Phillips tubes. In addition to sounding beyond great, (I like how one TB'er put it that it "tubes up" your tone) this compressor is also really easy to use.
$450 shipped U.S. PayPal is fine. No trades
