In a dark back room of DMB Pedals two men sought to create compression from an empty shell.  Starting with a metal enclosure and some knobs, Dan and Michael utilized the power of nature and their own creative expertise.  After many failed attempts an accidental lightening strike wiped out the entire project; or so they thought.  As the hazy smoke in the lab cleared, the two men heard something; clean, clear compression the likes of which they hadn’t heard before.  When they looked at the workbench, the culmination of their efforts combined with the freak lightening strike was born, the DMB Spankenstein Compressor.  This IC based compression monster may not look like much but has a tone of gold.  Utilizing parallel compression, the DMB Spankenstein Compressor allows for a seamless blend of the clean signal with the compressed signal resulting in smooth, transparent compression that retains the natural attack of the picked note while providing long lasting sustain that guitarists lust after.  If squash is needed, the DMB Spankenstein Compressor can provide that too by adjusting the Clean knob to fully zero and cranking the Sustain knob.  The Spankenstein can do anything other compressors can do, and while its gentle nature belies its violent origins, it will surely please any discerning guitarist that is tired of the same old compression.
