The Mrs. guitar effects pedal from DVK Technologies offers
both a boost and compressor in the same enclosure. The Booster side will provide
plenty of extra volumeg, with a Level control to dial in the perfect amount of
boost, with the added bonus of a Gain control to dial in a little drive or edge.
Another feature of the booster side is the Norm/Fat toggle switch. The Fat
setting will give your bottom and low mids a kick in the guts.
The
Compressor side of The Mrs. can be used by itself or in combination with the
boost. Its circuit is one of DVK's own, based on a few legendary compressors
that they have admired and found useful in the past. It features a Norm/Bright
switch that, when switched to the Bright side, will give your sound bit more
zing or top end.
Because The Mrs. features two circuits (compressor and
booster) you can, of course, combine the two. Doing so will give you a sonic
palette that goes from loud and clean to outright filthy. If desired, you can
drive the booster harder with the compressor side resulting in some pretty crazy
(and loud!) dirt tones. This sort of application is just the thing to push an
amp in near breakup mode right over the edge. In short: experiment!
