- $195.00 www.prymaxe.co... Earthquaker Devices The Warden Optical Compressor
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.
A standard regulated 9-volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel, no battery option. The Warden internally boosts the voltage up to 18v, do not run at higher voltages!
Current draw is around 20ma. We recommend and use Voodoo labs PP+ power supplies.
Earthquaker Devices The Warden Optical Compressor Features:
True Bypass and Handmade with sweet loving care in Akron, Ohio.
4 5/8″ x 2 1/2″ x 2.25″ with knobs
Tone: This pedal was designed to slightly color your tone, the coloration can be dialed-in to your taste. Counter clockwise is treble cut, clockwise is treble boost. The tone is nearly flat around 11 O'Clock.
Level: This controls the overall output and is affected by the sustain and ratio settings. There is no specific unity setting, adjust to taste when you find your perfect compression setting
Sustain: This is the heart of The Warden. It controls how hot the signal is, which changes the dynamics of the compression. The Warden is a feedback style compressor, the hotter the signal, the more active the compression. Very little sustain= very little compression, less active attack and release and a cooler signal, Max sustain= heavy compression, longer sustain, hotter signal and more lively attack and release.
Ratio: This determines how much the gain reduction affects the signal. All the way up is full compression and the compression is reduced as you turn this counter clockwise which allows more of the boosted, less compressed, signal to come through. There are no defined ratios here.
Attack: This controls how quickly the compressor reacts and starts leveling the signal. All the way counter clockwise is a fast, nearly immediate reaction. Turning the attack clockwise slows the reaction time.
Release: This controls how long it takes the signal to raise back up to the level determined by the sustain & ratio settings. All the way counter clockwise is a fast release and the release time slows as you turn it clockwise.
This compressor effects has the sweetest sound and tune ever.
This is the best compressor demo I've ever heard. Bravo.
Came here to listen pedal. Stayed to listen music.
Really great playing and tone, for sure.
I love the playing going on here. This is a nice demonstration.
That intro groove was incredible! I play the audio from this video in my car through bluetooth. Just incredible playing!
Your playing around 6:00 is absolutely beautiful. Getting this pedal in the mail, so stoked to try it out.
Truly a wonderful demonstration of this pedal - thank you so much for making the video - very useful to me.
Man, I always enjoy your demos but the music you wrote for this one is all astonishingly good! In particular, I'd love to hear the first piece fleshed out into a complete song.
This demo is very good 👍
great guitarist, great sound!
Thanks dude, very enlightening.
Just bought one a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the video.
Nice playing too
Edit: Very, very nice playing. Ha ha
beautiful playing, my friend! thanks for the demo.
Very nice of you. Thanks
-Mike
Chon anyone?
It was just released. Great compressor!
Very spectacular playing!
Where did you learn to tune guitars? It sounds absolutely perfect can you share how its done please
Drooling for this pedal after being nearly hypnotized and abducted by this fabulous music and its performance :)
Thanks!
-Mike
Smooth like butter.
This would work great for that. It levels everything out. Makes your loud notes softer and your soft notes louder
Thanks Sean!
-Mike
Sounds awesome, and great demo too!
Thanks, I appreciate that
The guitars tuning reminds me of Jimmy Pages solo stuff in the 80s.
Very nice sounding compressor, subtle!
Wow! Dude ur incredible. Everytime I watch ur vids I drool! I loved the spanish flavor. Great job!
I think this is my next compressor :)
It's a good one. Amazing fat tone!
Crap, this is the third pedal you're making me get. First the TC Spark, then the POG2 and now this. I have the TC Hypergravity now, but even with the Toneprint settings, I just can't get a good transparent sound I like. It's always so obvious when I switch it on, and it has a very digital response. As I'm typing this, I'm having to look up to see if it's on or off cause I honestly can't tell. I can hear the sustain tho. Great pedal, even better playing!
Really nice.
I think before your other drives...
I'm really interested in this compressor. I haven't had much luck finding info on it though. Last I checked it wasn't on EQ's site.
No blend control?
great demo btw =D
Great demo as always! How does the added tweakability weighs against the mix knob of theWalrus Audio Deep Six Compressor? Any advantage to one vs. the other?
I'll see what I can do. It's not in the rotation right now...
-Mike
Nice!
could u also demo empress compressor??? i can't decide between EQD's the warden or the empress' compressor
mike...this is mad...damm everytime i visit your site your allways play some diffrent sh*it! :-) georgous!
Looking for a nice compressor. Mike, which do you prefer - The Warden or the Walrus Deep Six?
I just bought the warden and I've been super pleased with it. I've never heard the Deep Six. But Walrus makes some great pedals. Oh, wait. Who's Mike?
Damn that was fantastic! What a talented musician, please tell me you have released your own music?? I could listen to that for days.
hey, a little question: my amp/guitar combination doesn't seem to like clean chord strumming at all, some notes jump out way too loud, it seems like the whole setup is too dynamic. would a compressor solve that issue? i never really tried a compressor since i never felt like i needed one, but if it would solve that issue that would be great.
If you're trying to run an acoustic guitar through an electric guitar amp that's your problem or you should be able to turn down the pick up volume in your acoustic guitar. If you're using an electric guitar through an electric guitar amp the issue may be that your guitar has such hot pickups that it is literally creating some overdrive when you strum it hard. Make sure that the disagreeable sound is not really just your strings buzzing out on some frets. Sometimes on guitars and basses when you hold an entire cord noun it creates buzzing on Frets that you would not here if you were just doing one or two note runs. If the issue is indeed that you're just over driving your amp putting a compression pedal in front of that if you tweak it just right it will take care of the issue for you and it will make your soft or notes more Audible
@@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643 this might be the latest reply i've ever gotten on yt ;) more volume fixed it, just getting some mild poweramp compression in there and getting the speakers moving a bit. at low volumes and with super clean gain settings my setup used to accentuate the 3d and 2nd string a lot with strummed chords. but a compressor does also work really well if you need a super polished, balanced clean tone, especially if you're switching between chords and single note lines a lot.
Is it possible to get overdriven tones with this pedal without too much volume boost?
I have this pedal and my "Ratio and Sustain" are switched around mine goes
Level,ratio,sustain unlike yours which is
Level,sustain,ratio. Weird huh?
If I'm not mistaking they released a v2 which could explain the difference.
and for a solo hi-gain on lead channel?
do compressor pedals work well with fuzzes?
metalehead95 compressors just make all your notes more even in volume, so you can have a lightly picked note just as loud as a aggresively picked note.
Yes. David Gilmore and others have done this.
If it's an old school fuzz, then plugging into the comp, then fuzz will sound different than guitar straight into fuzz.: brighter. If your fuzz has tone control, could back it off a little..
- With this and your guitar's volume control you can get singing, amp-like sustain/overdrive and less fuzziness from your fuzz.
- Like the guitar gods of old.
i dont understand is this a loop station aswell or what
Компрессор на клин не клади!!!!!
Didn’t even bother to crank everything up smh.
