Description

The SILKY GROOVE is a standard model based on the highly acclaimed SILKY COMP from the Custom Series, incorporating a dry mix circuit that was frequently requested by guitarists and bassists. It inherits the sound of the SILKY COMP while improving functionality and ease of use.

The newly designed dry mix circuit was meticulously engineered, taking into account the phase of the two sounds, to avoid the phenomenon where the effect sound and the dry sound sound like separate sounds when mixed. You can experience a sound where the dry sound and the effect sound blend together seamlessly, something that cannot be achieved with commonly used mix circuits.
This dry mix circuit allows for a wide range of sound shaping, from heavily compressed effect sounds with zero dry signal to fast, punchy sounds with a mix of dry and compressed tones.

Generally, compressors are one of the most difficult effects pedals to adjust. SILKY GROOVE has optimized the compression circuit operation to make compressor adjustment easier. "ATTACK" adjusts the strength of the input attack sound, and "SUSTAIN" adjusts the sustain by changing the strength of the compression. Since each changes smoothly, you can easily find your preferred setting.

SILKY GROOVE produces a smooth and natural compression that is as silky as silk, without compromising important elements such as the sonic character of the guitar or bass, or the subtle touch and picking nuances during playing. It provides rich expressiveness to a variety of playing styles, from sparkling arpeggios, sharp cutting, and soaring solos on the guitar, to a solid, well-defined bottom end on the bass, and bouncy slap bass.

Features: The "ATTACK" and "SUSTAIN" controls for the compressor function are designed with gradual curves that are easy to adjust, avoiding abrupt changes.
• Equipped with a newly designed dry mix circuit. The ability to mix dry and effected sounds allows for a wide range of sound shaping.
It features an HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit. Unlike conventional buffer circuits, the HTS circuit performs impedance conversion while maximizing the sonic characteristics of the guitar or bass, achieving both "high sound quality" and "low noise." This HTS circuit prevents degradation of the guitar or bass sound quality even when the effect is turned off.
The output signal is output in the same phase as the input signal, so there is no need to worry about phase inversion.
