FX Engineering: Mirage Compressor

   

 

A compressor should be felt but not heard!”

FX Engineering - Patent Pending

Qualities

- Transparency: There are no audible artificial sonic anomalies.       

- You may ask yourself: “Is it on?”

- Musical: The tonality of the processed music is very natural

- and pleasing to the discerning ear.
- Studio quality: In a simple-to-use pedal.
- Tough, Durable and “road ready”.
- True Bypass Switching.

Attack
The Mirage attack time is less than half a millisecond.
That translates to one half cycle of the highest note on a 24 fret guitar.
The attack begins clamping at the moment the pick makes contact with the string.
Totally inaudible attack time!

To the signal above 1 kHz the Mirage acts more like a limiter. This allows the
natural harmonics to pass untainted while limiting any high frequency transient spikes.

Attack knee
The Mirage compression follows the natural envelope of the musical source.
No soft knee is needed to compensate for poor attack time.

Sustain/Release

The Mirage provides smooth sustain through the release without the
artificial sounding aggressive gain compensation as many compressors use.
As the musical note fades, the Mirage “reads” the envelope and contours the release smoothly.

Coloration and Transparency
"Is it on?" The Mirage linearity is virtually flat <1db variation from 20 Hz to 8 kHz.
There is no induced coloration, distortion, hair, fuzz, or EQ to the signal.
The Mirage transparency is such that it will also work well with acoustic instruments guitars,
mandolins etc. Acoustic sparkle is actually enhanced!
