DEEP SIX

COMPRESSOR

V

The Deep Six is a true bypass studio­grade compressor in stomp box form,
inspired by the Universal Audio 1176
with the simplicity of the Ross and
Dynacomp. The Deep Six V3 features
an added tone knob, soft switch
bypassing, updated components for
improved sound, top mounted jacks
and updated art that gives a humble
nod to the original art that started it all.

Oering a Level, Sustain, Attack, Blend

and Tone control, the Deep Six will
give you unmatched versatility. Polarity
will never be an issue as the Deep Six
comes standard with a reverse polarity
protection circuit. The pedal runs at 18v
thanks to the internal voltage doubler
giving you the maximum amount of
headroom while maintaining a typical

current draw of 8.9mA. The Blend and

Attack controls found on the Deep Six
allow you to really tailor the response of
the compression.

TONE

The tone knob works as a bass cut to help shape
the low end of your guitar signal. Turn it up to
cut more bass, and turn it down to let more bass
through.

SUSTAIN

For rhythm playing, run the Sustain control at
lower settings so that the Compressor is more
of a tone shaper. This will keep your sound nice
and even and compensate for any variance in the
velocity of your strumming. For those Santana /
Clapton style leads, turn it up for more sustain.

BLEND

Mixes in the compressed signal with the original,
dry signal. Turn the Blend control up to blend in
the compressed signal. For high output signals
(humbuckers), the blend control allows you to
dial in more of the dry signal and dial out the
distortion that most humbuckers bring to a
compressor.

ATTACK

Allows you to adjust how fast the compressor
will react to your notes. Set it higher for punchier
leads or lower for smooth rhythm.
