A High-end Studio Channel Strip — in a Pedal

The Vertex Nyle Compressor packs a high-end, studio-grade channel strip into a pedal. It marries two circuits: a 76-style FET compressor and a vintage-sounding, British-style preamp. With this pedal you can achieve Nile Rogers-esque funk tones with ease. Or flip the Treble switch to nail Prince’s clean sound. You can also crank the Gain knob for some true-to-the-album “Black Dog” riffage. Whether you want compression, EQ shaping, or level control, the Nyle’s wide palette of controls delivers the goods. It sounds amazing on bass, too! The Nyle Compressor is one of those secret weapon stompboxes — once you put it on your pedalboard, you’ll wonder how you got along without it.

76-style FET compressor

The Nyle’s compressor section is based on the 76-style FET model that’s been a studio standard for decades. You get a broad range of controls: Comp Volume sets the compressor’s volume, Sustain dials in the amount of compression, and Ratio blends the dry and compressed signal. You also get a 3-way Attack toggle switch that controls the compressor’s sensitivity, offering everything from subtle, to squishy, to all-out slam.

Vintage-sounding, British-style preamp

The Vertex Nyle Compressor’s preamp circuit is based on a vintage, British-style console. Its ample control set enables you to dial in an infinite number of tonal textures: Preamp Volume governs the preamp’s volume, EQ enables you to tweak the preamp’s low-mid frequencies, and Gain controls clipping for the preamp circuit.
