Description
Electro-Harmonix Tone Corset is a compact analogue compressor pedal designed for electric guitarists who want smooth, musical control over dynamics without losing character. From subtle level evening that keeps arpeggios clear, to classic country snap and singing lead sustain, it delivers a wide range of usable compression tones with simple, familiar controls. Whether you are refining clean rhythm parts, adding polish to recorded tracks, or giving solos extra presence in a mix, the Tone Corset makes it easy to find the sweet spot. It is a strong choice for players upgrading from basic compressors and those building a versatile board for home, studio and stage.
Features
Four-knob analogue control
Volume, Sustain, Blend and Attack provide intuitive control over level, amount of compression, parallel mix and pick response. This makes it simple to tailor everything from transparent evening to pronounced squash, so your playing feels balanced and expressive while retaining the natural tone of your guitar and amp.
Pad switch for hot pickups
A handy pad switch tames strong signals from high-output humbuckers or boosted pedals placed earlier in the chain. Engaging the pad preserves headroom and keeps the compressor working in its most musical range, helping you avoid unwanted clipping while maintaining clarity and definition.
True bypass and low-noise performance
The Tone Corset uses true bypass switching to keep your dry sound pristine when the pedal is off. Its carefully voiced analogue circuit offers smooth, quiet operation, so you hear the benefits of compression without added hiss, making it ideal for clean passages, studio work and subtle levelling on stage.
Rugged, pedalboard-ready build
A tough, compact die-cast enclosure saves space and stands up to daily use, rehearsals and gigs. Standard 9V power compatibility makes it easy to integrate with common power supplies, while the straightforward top-panel layout means quick adjustments under stage lights or in the practice room.
