Secret Omnia bass drive (Alex Lofoco signature)
SOUL PRESSURE COMPRESSOR
This is an analog compressor based on the famous “Ross Compressor”. We modified the circuit to be extremely transparent and reactive to the musician’s touch. By adjusting the Release control you can vary the pedal’s dynamics.
The Soul Pressure can be powered by a high quality stabilized power supply or with a regular 9V battery. To replace it remove the four screws on the pedal’s side. The accepted supply voltages range from 9V DC to 12V DC. By increasing the voltage the effect will respond more dynamically. The pedal has a standard tip negative connector (the same as used by Boss pedals). The pedal has a true- bypass on/off switch. It preserves the input signal even when switched off.
GAIN CONTROL
With the gain knob set to zero you get a completely clean tone, and by gradually increasing it you will introduce a creamy distortion and more sustain. Adding more distortion does not introduce any unpleasant high frequencies, so you can use the Tone control to simply shape your sound.
POWERSUPPLY
The Secret-1 can be powered by a high quality stabilized power supply or with a regular 9V battery. To replace it you have to open the four hinges around the box. The accepted supply voltages range from 9V DC to 24V DC, and higher voltages will result in more dynamics and harmonic complexity. The recommended voltage is 18V DC. The pedal has a standard tip negative connector (the same as used by Boss pedals).
TRUE-BYPASS
The pedal has a true-bypass on/off switch. It preserves the input signal even when switched off.
