“I’ve never used a compressor until really recently. I just didn’t find one that I liked; it felt like it was crushing the tone, and I didn’t feel that way about the Deep Six.”

This pedal is trying to remain hidden in the shadows, but can still be seen throughout the video.

Elle Puckett

To keep her oscillating time-based effects in check, Puckett sandwiches them between two compressors. A Walrus Audio Deep Six squashes the input while the Xotic SP strapped across the output enhances her reverb and delay trails without blowing out her amp when she cranks the feedback.

"This is my favorite compression pedal I've used. Im not sure why, it just sounds great. Gives me extra sustain, fattens up my tone, and smooths everything out. Check it out."

Wonderful compressor

This compressor has zero flaws in my opinion. It does the job, features a blend control, and looks incredible. I won't need another compressor any time soon.

THE DEEP SIX IS A TRUE BYPASS STUDIO-GRADE COMPRESSOR IN STOMP BOX FORM, INSPIRED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIVERSAL AUDIO 1176 WITH THE SIMPLICITY OF THE ROSS AND DYNACOMP.

Offering a Level, Sustain, Attack, and Blend control, the Deep Six will give you unmatched versatility at a price you can afford.

Features

The pedal can be powered from a 9V battery or DC Supply. Polarity will never be an issue as the Deep Six comes standard with a polarity correction circuit. The internal voltage is doubled to 18 volts giving you the maximum amount of headroom for your sound while maintaining a typical current draw of 8.9mA for extended battery life. The Deep Six also offers a Blend and Attack control which allows you to use the pedal with active pickups or humbuckers. The blend feature allows you to use high output instruments while truly being able to dial out any distortion that may be present. 9V DC8.9mA ? 4.77 x 2.9 x 2.3 inches

Have you found that it is noisy? A friend of mine had it and actually chose to return to his Dyna Comp over the Deep Six because it was so noisy.
