### **About This Listing: World-Class Analog VCA Processor**

Up for sale is a professional, handcrafted **Compressor – Limiter TB** by the renowned Czech builder Smrcka Effects, manufactured on **October 23, 2024**. This fully analog processor features the legendary **THAT4301P** circuit (by THAT Corporation)—a rarity on the European market and a gold standard in analog VCA technology.

**Premium Build Quality:**

Equipped with a precision JFet op-amp by **Linear Technology** and premium **Nichicon MUSE audio-grade capacitors** (visible in gut shots), this pedal delivers studio-grade quality comparable to much more expensive tube opto-compressors. Every unit is individually hand-tuned and tested by the builder.

### **Controls & Dynamic Shaping:**

• **SENS (Threshold):** Sets the compression trigger; operates counter-clockwise for increased sensitivity. Handles everything from vintage single-coils to high-output humbuckers.

• **RATIO:** Smooth adjustment of the compression ratio for dynamic thickening.

• **CLICK:** Shapes the character—from smooth, modern transparency to a highly percussive, punchy attack.

• **LEVEL:** Output gain with massive headroom thanks to the internal **2x12V power rails** (total 24V internal swing).

• **"COMP WORKS" LED:** Provides real-time visual feedback of the compression activity.

### **Technical Specs & Impedance:**

Optimized for signal integrity in professional rigs and 4CM setups:

• **Input Impedance:** 1 MOhm.

• **Output Impedance:** 200 Ohm (extremely low, eliminates signal loss over long cable runs).

• **True Bypass:** Mechanical 3PDT switching ensures a pure signal path when disengaged.

### **Custom Power Solution (Included):**

This pedal operates **EXCLUSIVELY on AC power (12V-18V AC)**.

• **Standard Socket Size:** The pedal features a standard **2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel jack**, making it mechanically compatible with common pedalboard power cables.

• **Custom Transformer:** I am including a custom-made 15V AC adapter designed specifically for this effect and for saving pedalboard real estate.

• **Pedalboard Friendly:** It is slim enough to fit under most boards, lightweight, and comes with Velcro pre-installed for easy mounting.

• **SAFETY WARNING:** This adapter is for this pedal ONLY. Do not use it with other gear, as it may cause damage. This unit will NOT work with standard 9V DC power supplies.

### **Condition & Reason for Sale**

• **Condition:** **Excellent** (manufactured 10/2024). Fully functional, clean studio use only, and individually calibrated by the builder.

• **Reason for Sale:** Moving to a modern high-gain setup. While this is a masterpiece for smooth vintage tones, it no longer fits my current focus on ultra-tight metal riffing.
