My current compressor of choice. There's little else to say except that the proof is in the listening and the experiencing. My experience has been a joy.

From the Free The Tone website:

"By using a proprietary soldering technique to produce the circuit board, the SILKY COMP is able to provide a special natural sound with a smooth and glossy silkiness that will change your concept of compressor pedals up to now. You will be able to achieve smooth, naturally flowing arpeggios or provide a sharp, cutting groove for comping. The ATTACK control will enable you to achieve a wide variety of sounds. You can also use it as a limiter by turning the ATTACK control fully clockwise.

A special true bypass circuit is adopted to switch the effect on and off, so the signal only passes through one set of contacts when bypassed.
