Overview

A flexible, vintage-style stompbox compressor with true hard-wire bypass for guitar or bass.

The BBE BenchPress is a vintage compressor pedal that was patterned after the long discontinued Ross compressor. Unfortunately, it might be difficult today finding one that's in reliable condition and won't cost you an arm and a leg. The heart of the BBE BenchPress compressor pedal is fueled by a NOS CA3080 OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier), 1% metal-film resistors and true hardwire bypass for better fidelity, and features an Attack control to offer players more flexibility than the original compressor effect pedal.

Features

  • NOS CA3080 OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier)
  • True hardwire bypass
  • Blue LED status indicator
  • Easy-access battery compartment
  • 5-year warranty
