Bogner Lyndhurst Compressor Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Treat your tone to the signature squish of classic Neve consoles thanks to a Rupert Neve Designs transformer inside the Lyndhurst compressor from Bogner.

The Bogner Lyndhurst Compressor Pedal with a Rupert Neve Designs Transformer was born from a collaboration between Reinhold Bogner and the legendary Rupert Neve. The Lyndhurst compressor pedal puts the to-die-for sounds of classic 1960s mixing consoles onto your pedal board. You're easily able to manipulate the pedal's character, achieving everything from chickin' picking squash to clean and clear limiting - giving your tone the sheen of a perfectly produced track. In fact, thanks to the pedal's Neve-designed transformer and massive range of tones, the Lyndhurst compressor may very well replace all of your other comp pedals. Maybe even a piece of outboard studio gear or two.

From Nashville squish to Electric Lady

Great-sounding compression comes in a lot of forms, and the Bogner Lyndhurst can nail every one of them. Want the classic country twang? Crank the pedal's ratio control, pick a fast attack time, and dig into your favorite Tele. Or try backing off on the squash, flipping the 3-position EQ switch to Sparkle, and enjoying the 3-dimensional clarity of the vintage Neve consoles in Electric Lady, Blackbird, and Sound City studios. You can even dime the pedal's Inp/Comp control for a gritty and sustaining tone that will give your favorite overdrive pedals a run for their money. Even if you play acoustic guitar or bass, there are so many fantastic-sounding options onboard the Lyndhurst that you owe it to yourself to put one in your setup.

Your sound, but better

read more When crafting the Lyndhurst compressor, it was vital to Bogner that the pedal boast enough control to be the ideal choice for any guitar rig while remaining easy to use. Thanks to features such as the 3-position EQ switch for retaining your high end and an Attack control that offers variable control or an Auto mode for dynamic control, he more than achieved his goal. You will notice how well the pedal enhances all of your amps and guitars, while always preserving your core tone. Thanks to Bogner's guru-like knowledge of what guitarists need, the pedal is intuitive for guitarists, even in the heat of a gig.

Four of the best ears in the business

It's Reinhold Bogner's commitment to always pushing the sound of guitar forward while paying homage to the the classic tones of yesterday that has captured the ears of players such as Steve Lukather, Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge, Creed, Solo), Walter Becker (Steely Dan), and Justin Derrico (Pink, The Voice). And it's possible that Rupert Neve's products can be heard on more recordings than any other musical-equipment designer in history. Together, these two living legends know what great tone is. And that's exactly what their Lyndhurst compressor delivers.

Main reason I bought this compressor was my amplifier. Old school 1987 Laney AOR 100MV 6 knobber. This amplifier is incredible. Very powerful with 4 12AX7 in preamp and 4 EL34 in power section. This is not modern amp with very compressed and tight sound , but no modern amplifier sounds like AOR. Low end is so great but very organic and not compressed. I play heavy metal and I needed more compression especially in low registers. Bogner Lyndhurst transformed my amp into modern heavy metal beast. This pedal is so great. My sound now is incredible. I'm using Diezel Herbert distortion which is tight itself , but with Lyndhurst I jumped into new dimensions. Compressor reacting very accurate for even smallest pot movement . Level pot is very sensitive , and when you pass 12 o'clock Lyndhurst got a bit noise, but really you do not need to go that far with overall level of this compressor. I keep it before 9 o'clock and it work fantastic. Instead of tone pot Bogner used a toggle switch. There is a three options so you can find EQ setting up to your taste. With compression pot I obtain endless sustain even with noise gate set to high level. Now my low end is punchy and tight . Bogner is a genius. This kind of compression I could obtain only in studio before. Now I got it at home...front of my amp.. . My only pain is the price of this pedal. It could cost less , but main factor about pricing this pedal was transformer used inside. Rupert Neve. So this is kind of expensive pedal but on other read more hand...there is a lot of studio compressors they don't sounds even in the half as Bogner Lyndhurst and costs 7 times more.
