The Warden Optical Compressor

 

Hey boss, thanks for taking a visit from The Warden! The Warden is an optical compressor with a feature set usually reserved for studio grade units. Built with high grade components and internally powered by 18v, The Warden has loads of gain and sustain on tap. With complete control over attack, release, sustain and ratio, The Warden will allow everything from a heavy squash with fast attack and release to “barely there” subtle compression. Optical compression has a reputation for having more character than a VCA or FET-based compression and The Warden is no exception.

 

Specifications

 

Dimensions:

4.75 x 2.50 x 2.25 in. (121 x 64 x 57 mm) with knobs

Current Draw:

31 mA

Input Impedance:

1 MΩ

Output Impedance:

<1 kΩ

Switching:

This device is true bypass and uses electronic relay-based switching. Audio will not pass without power.

Power:

This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
