TC Electronic Forcefield Compressor Effect Pedal
Description
The TC Electronic Forcefield Compressor pedal brings coveted vintage compression tones to your pedalboard in a compact, stage-ready stompbox. Designed with intuitive controls, it lets you dial in the exact amount and response of compression—from subtle sustain to all-out squashed chicken picking. The Forcefield compressor is perfect for players looking to add singing, responsive sustain to their tone without sacrificing clarity.
Analog Circuitry Captures Musical Tube Compression
Unlike sterile digital compressors, the Forcefield utilizes analog circuitry to capture the sag, warmth and rich harmonics of vintage tube compressors. From adding a touch of compression for increased sustain to heavily squashing your signal, you'll get the musicality and responsiveness that brings out the vibrance in your tone. The vintage vibe lends itself perfectly to blues, rock and country styles where dynamic interaction between your guitar and the compression is key.
Shape Your Sound With Intuitive Compression Controls
The Forcefield makes it easy to shape your tone just the way you want it. The Sustain knob lets you determine the amount of compression, from subtle signal enhancement all the way to endless sustain for solos. The Attack knob controls how quickly the compression is applied so you can choose a fast, squashed response or a more organic, open tone. Whether you're looking for increased sustain, smooth signal leveling or that classic compressed "twang," the Forcefield puts exceptional control over your dynamics at your feet.
Boost Your Sound for Solos
The Forcefield's Level control lets you compensate for gain loss from compression or even boost your signal above unity gain for solos. Crank it up to make your leads jump out of the mix. The Level knob greatly interacts with the Sustain control, giving you expanded tonal options.
Get the Warmth of Analog With True Bypass
The Forcefield captures the highly desirable warmth and smoothness of analog compression circuits in a compact, stage-ready stompbox. Its vintage compression is distinctly different from modern studio gear, delivering the sag, squash and musicality that shaped countless classic guitar tones. When bypassed via the pedal's true-bypass switching, your core tone remains completely unaffected.
