The Vise Grip is a studio-grade, classic compressor in a user friendly 4 knob format. Our unique Blend knob and 3 way mini-toggle switch allow you to select the frequency range of the original uncompressed signal as well as infinitely adjust the amount of “wet” versus “dry” signal that is routed to the output. It’s often best to put a compressor at the beginning of your effects chain, but sometimes it can work more efficiently when placed after effects such as a wah or envelope filter. You won’t do any damage by putting your effects in the so-called wrong order, so feel free to experiment and find what works best for your sound. The Vise Grip can do all of the following and more: • Add natural sounding sustain to both chords and single notes • Add extra sparkle to top end of chords and melody lines • Soften harsh overtones and smooth out dynamics in your playing
