The VCA Compressor pedal was born out of our desire to offer a compressor pedal that threads the needle between the transparent and accurate studio compression we love, and the tonal enhancement (aka magic sauce) that we all love in certain vintage compressors or beloved compressor pedals on the market. Our goal was to create a highly flexible, super accurate, and, most importantly, fantastic-sounding compressor pedal. We settled on a VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) design with a smart and simple set of controls over the crucial compression parameters.

"It's so crystal clear and punchy. It's the best sounding amplifier I've ever played through and that's no BS. It reminds me of being in a control room and hearing your bass through the Neve and some ATC300's. I'm stoked! It's great to have an amp that sounds like yourself, only a lot louder!"
Tim Landers
"To hear the true sound of your instrument (and more importantly of yourself!) without sounding sterile, the Bullhead 1K is the best digital amp on the market!"
Florian Friedrich
"I've been looking for a versatile amplifier that compliments the quality of my instruments and playing style. I love playing through my Trickfish rig! And as an added benefit, it's light‐weight and fits in the trunk of my car!"
