Heather Brown Electronicals Introduces Darlene Compression

Heather Brown Electronicals has unveiled its latest creation, the Darlene Compression, an ultra-quiet analog compressor built for players who want their dynamics to breathe and their sound to stay pure.Darlene’s high-quality analog circuitry provides consistent touch and clarity across the board, preserving the nuance and character of your playing. Darlene avoids problems that occur with some other compressors that flatten tone, choke dynamics, or add unwanted noise. Instead, Dalrene delivers smooth, responsive compression that feels intuitive with your playing and provides each note with natural, effortless sustain.The pedal’s control set is refreshingly straightforward. Three knobs (Sustain, Blend, and Volume) let you blend in your dry signal for lively dynamics and punchy attack, or lean into sustain for that smooth, elastic feel. The neutral voicing ensures your guitar’s natural tone remains untouched.
Inside, Darlene runs a 100% analog signal path with premium components and a noise floor so low it practically disappears. Players can choose between true or buffered bypass, paired with silent soft-touch switching for seamless performance on stage or in the studio. In addition to standard 9V DC operation the pedal offers optional 18V operation, adding extra headroom for those who like a little more snap.Whether you use it as an always-on polish, a transparent clean boost, or a thickening texture after your drives, Darlene quietly makes everything feel more dialed in.
