Description
The Origin Effects SlideRIG Compact Deluxe is a musician's secret weapon for achieving the ultimate slide guitar tone. This compact pedal is designed to deliver the iconic double-compressor sound, a technique famously used by revered slide guitarists like Lowell George of Little Feat. The secret lies in its ability to chain two compressors together, creating a delicate balance of attack and sustain that results in a creamy, dreamy slide sound.
The SlideRIG Compact Deluxe MK2 is built on an iconic FET compressor, allowing you to subtly control transients for a top-end spank or apply a heavier hand for a rounded tone with epic sustain. But that's not all - this little powerhouse also comes with an Attack/Release knob, putting the level of squash right at your fingertips. Switch between fast-attack/slow-release to slow-attack/fast-release settings and discover a whole new world of tonal possibilities.
For even more control, the SlideRIG Compact Deluxe MK2 incorporates a Dry blend knob, letting you fold the compressed signal under the uncompressed signal. This means you can retain your dynamics while adding punch and weight to your sound. Housed in a brushed stainless-steel enclosure with exquisite knobs and a striking jewel light, this hand-assembled pedal is not only a tonal beast, but also a feast for the eyes.

- Dual studio-grade FET compressors in a pedal format

A photo posted to Instagram shows Stone Gossard's pedalboard during the 2024 Dark Matter Tour, clearly featuring the Origin Effects SlideRIG Compact Deluxe.
Got my rig pretty dang dialled these days... Gotta say, I never would have found myself using a compressor but the @origineffects #sliderig deluxe is changing that opinion FAST.
I really like having a ton of control over my dynamics and all the comps I've tried have always kinda robbed that. But this one breaths soooo much. I know a lot of slide players like em, but it's new for me. I'm also mainly using it for solos but it'm finding room for it in my rhythm playing a bit too!
