The Module 4 Compressor from DryBell offers several key differences and enhancements compared to the original Orange Squeezer design:
1. Fully Adjustable Compressor: While the initial idea was for a simple one- xxxx compressor, the development team decided to create a fully adjustable compressor with controls such as ATTACK, RELEASE, RATIO, and PREAMP. This provides users with more flexibility and control over their compression settings.
2. Additional Controls: The Module 4 features TONE and BLEND controls, allowing for parallel compression and a switchable option for a JFET compressor without the classic Orange Squeezer's EQ character. This gives users the ability to choose between two types of compression within the same pedal.
3. Expander Feature: The Module 4 includes an Expander feature, adding another dimension to the compressor's functionality and versatility.
4. Low-End Cut Option: A LOW END cut option is available to adjust the low-end response of the signal, providing users with the flexibility to tailor the tonal character of the compression.
5. Improved Noise Floor: The Module 4 has successfully lowered the noise floor by more than 10dB compared to the original Orange Squeezer design, ensuring a cleaner and quieter performance.
6. Bypass Options: The Module 4 offers three bypass options - True bypass, buffered bypass, and buffered bypass with ORANGE coloration. The ORANGE coloration mode adjusts the buffer input impedance based on the compressor settings, providing a unique bypass EQ response.
7. Custom Enclosure and Silent Footswitch: The Module 4 comes in a new custom aluminum enclosure with a custom silent footswitch, enhancing durability and usability.
In summary, the Module 4 Compressor builds upon the iconic Orange Squeezer design by introducing new features, improved functionality, and enhanced performance, making it a versatile and powerful tool for compression needs.
