It was very rudimentary and had a few design errors. I built one and immediately loved it. It was muffled and smooth and changed the sound of my guitar in a noticeable way. It reminded me of the way cassette tape squeezes and expands your instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo I changed a few things to reduce white noise and get better performance, added a VU to roughly show the squish, and then added a whole second circuit in the same box to run in stereo. Then add in dual XLR outputs for good measure and I figured this thing should cover anything from pedalboard color box to studio gadget. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input volume knob adds gain before the diodes, so the higher it is, the harder the squeeze. At the highest 1\/4 of the input volume control it starts to distort in a pleasant way. It's not going to win fuzz pedal of the year, but there's some tasty sparkle to make things interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output volume control purely controls the total output of the pedal. It has a good amount of boost, so can drive things after it pretty hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynamics control sets how much compression is engaged (interactive with input volume), When rolled completely off, there is no compression and you get satisfying saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mono\/stereo switch can allow you to send a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emono input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e signal to both outputs, therefore splitting it, or run both sides separate from a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003estereo patch cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull buffered bypass is effected by the stomp switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuns on 9V standard center-negative power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower consumption: ~40 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS:  L120mm X W67mm X H56mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with Pedal, Instruction Sheet\/Poster in a custom display box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3159\/8422\/files\/2Track_side_2048x2048_JPG_881c8309-62bf-40b3-aad0-34e8bfa788ca.jpg?v=1724191708\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3159\/8422\/files\/2trackinstructions1.png?v=1724191722\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3159\/8422\/files\/2trackinstructions2.png?v=1724191722\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Templo Devices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45282449883318,"sku":"TD2T","price":158.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8251\/1286\/files\/2track_2048X2048_195f1941-1fd2-4604-aca2-246a9db6bf43.jpg?v=1784894210","url":"https:\/\/mhkshopmotfy.com\/products\/2-track-tape-style-compressor","provider":"Mhkshopmotfy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
