J. Rockett Audio Designs AiraChild 660

Inspired by the most revered studio compressor of all time, the J. Rockett Audio Designs AiraChild 660 brings the signature tone of the vintage Fairchild 660 compressor to your pedalboard. This pedal is not just about dynamic control; its circuit construction enhances harmonic richness and adds a "sonic glue" to your signal. Unlike many guitar compressors that can limit and squash your sound, the AiraChild 660 operates like a true studio compressor, evening out transients while allowing your tone to breathe. It's an "always-on" pedal that makes everything you run through it sound better, even with the compression threshold at zero.

The tonal qualities of the AiraChild 660 are designed to elevate your guitar's natural sound. With the added Tone control, you can compensate for any high-frequency loss post-compression, ensuring your tone remains articulate and present. The interactive relationship between the Threshold and Output knobs allows for a wide range of effects, from subtle sustain and enhanced harmonics to a thicker, more perceptibly compressed sound.

The construction of this pedal is housed in a compact enclosure with four intuitive controls—Output, Tone, Blend, and Threshold—making it easy to dial in the perfect sound. Its true bypass switching ensures that your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged, preserving the integrity of your guitar's tone. This compressor is a must-have for players who want to infuse their sound with a classic studio vibe and achieve a professional, polished tone.
