Jackson Audios Hourglass pedal turns that craving for customization into reality. A pair of top-tier, independent analog circuits unlocks two doors for compression experimentation, affording users impeccable timing and tonal switch controls as well as a trio of classic Compression, Blend, and Volume knobs each. The Hourglass makes it easy to cater each circuit to the needs of the guitar or mix at hand, essentially setting up a pair of pro-performing compression presets. When times up on your first setting, flip over to your second custom compression circuit, swap guitars, and experience the dichotomous magnificence of the Hourglass sonic refinement in a new light! A terrific studio tool and onstage necessity, the Hourglass dual compressor guarantees flawless tonal quality down twice as many avenues as normal, and all in a marvelously professional sonic sheen.

Upstanding analog circuitry

The foundation of a fine compressor begins on the inside, and the Hourglass has the heart of an ox. Engineered with genuinely independent and iconic OTA analog circuitry, the Hourglass achieves boutique-grade tonal transparency, sustain, and control. Keeping you in the drivers seat and backing you up with unfaltering internal quality is Jackson Audios bread and butter, ensuring you showcase the best elements of your guitars tone entirely on your terms. Furthermore, on the outside, its tough and rugged chassis is designed to take the physical stresses of touring in stride, too!

Total compression command

The Hourglass delivers command over your compression settings with just the right amount of customization. Jackson Audio outfitted each circuit with a trio of knobs for adjusting Compression amount, dry/wet signal Blend, and overall Volume. Keep things warm and traditional, or skyrocket some sustain for your own unique atmosphere.

Additionally, each circuit boasts a pair of side-mounted switches, furthering the subtly customizable nature of the Hourglass. The top switch controls Attack speed, with 3-way optioning for Medium, Fast, and Slow. Beneath, a second 3-way selector provides integrated Treble contouring with Medium, High, and Flat selections. Cater these controls to perfectly match your axe, and hear your guitars tone and responsiveness emphasized in all the right ways!

Keep your options open

Piggybacking off the incomparable individuality of each circuit, the Hourglass makes the headaches of swapping out guitars and re-accommodating with new and complex compression settings a stress of the past.Your single-coil preferences are not going to line up with those of your humbucker and so does Jackson Audio! Whether youre at a pivotal point in the set list or ready to track a rich and glossy solo in the studio after laying down a rhythm line, the Hourglass is happy to acclimate. Such compression versatility has been a seeming studio luxury of the past, but now the Hourglass dual compressor keeps your options wide open wherever you want to play.
