Trace Elliot Dual Band Compressor Bass Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Trace Elliot Dual Band Compressor is a professional-grade bass compression pedal engineered to give players precise, independent control over the low and high ends of their signal. Built around a bipolar 18V internal power supply sourced from a standard 9V input, it delivers a wide, clean dynamic range that holds up in the studio and on stage. Whether you're a working bassist or advancing your sound at rehearsal, this pedal brings tour-proven compression to any rig.

Product Overview

The Dual Band Compressor is housed in a rugged die-cast enclosure built to withstand the demands of regular gigging. Black domed knobs sit atop a compact chassis designed for pedalboard integration, and the ¼" input/output configuration drops right into any standard signal chain. The build quality reflects Trace Elliot's reputation for durable, professional bass gear.

At the heart of this pedal are separate LO BAND and HI BAND compression controls, allowing bassists to shape the low-end weight and high-end snap independently — a critical distinction from single-band compressors that apply blanket compression across the full spectrum. Integrated make-up gain is applied automatically after compression, keeping your output volume consistent without manual adjustment.

Dedicated Input and Output Level controls make the Dual Band Compressor compatible with passive pickups, active pickups, and line-level signals alike. True bypass operation keeps your tone completely uncolored when the pedal is disengaged, and the bipolar 18V internal supply (derived from any standard 9VDC source or 9V battery) maintains a wide dynamic range with no risk of clipping.

Ideal For

• Bass guitarists seeking a dual band compressor pedal for precise, independent low and high frequency control
• Live performers who need consistent, reliable dynamics whether playing clubs or large stages
• Studio bassists recording sessions where sitting cleanly in a mix is essential
• Players using passive or active pickups who need a pedal adaptable to different signal levels
• Pedalboard builders looking for a compact, true bypass bass compression solution

Key Features

Dual Band Compression Separate LO BAND and HI BAND controls let you compress each frequency range independently, dialing in the ideal balance of sub-low weight, midrange punch, and top-end snap without sacrificing the character of either register.

Integrated Make-Up Gain Automatic make-up gain is applied post-compression, maintaining your intended output level seamlessly — no manual level adjustments needed when engaging or bypassing the pedal.

Bipolar 18V Internal Power Supply The onboard bipolar 18V (±9V) power architecture preserves the full dynamic range of your bass signal while eliminating clipping, all powered from a standard 9VDC supply or 9V battery.

Input and Output Level Controls Independent input and output gain controls accommodate a wide range of signal sources — from passive single-coils to hot active preamps — and provide precise gain staging throughout your signal path.

True Bypass Operation When the pedal is off, your signal passes through completely unaffected. True bypass design ensures the Dual Band Compressor integrates cleanly into any rig without tone coloration.
