TC Electronic Spectracomp Overview

Enjoy studio-grade multiband compression distilled into a compact, one-knob bass pedal with the Spectracomp Bass Compressor from TC-Electronic. Featuring the same MD3 dynamics engine from the System 6000 mastering processor, this ultracompact pedal makes it supremely easy to attain ideal bass dynamics with the turn of a knob.

Loaded with TonePrint compatibility, you can easily create your own custom compression algorithms through deep editing of parameters in the free editor, or try out custom premade tones made by others. True bypass ensures a tone free from color or tone suck when turning the effect off. High-quality components ensure every ounce of the MD3 engine is replicated in this tiny pedal. And with a sturdy die-cast metal case, the Spectracomp Bass will last for years of touring and abuse.

A Multiband Marvel
First introduced in TC-Electronic's innovative RH-series bass amps, which made dialing in supersmooth compression an absolute breeze, the Spectracomp Bass keeps the simplistic one-knob approach from the RH series, while greatly improving the compression algorithm. This gives you access to studio-quality compression tones in a microscale stompbox.
A Celebrated Pedigree
Spectracomp Bass contains the same high-quality MD3 dynamics engine known from TC-Electronic's studio production powerhouse, System 6000. This dynamics engine that has been used on countless hit-records and massive blockbuster movie productions.

This advanced algorithm applies perfectly tweaked compression for your high, mid, and low frequencies to create a more unified and balanced sound where your low strings never overtake your highs, something that’s simply not possible with the one-size-fits-all compression known from a typical stompbox. This way, you’ll get a tight and punchy attack with endless sustain, all without ever compromising the natural low-end response of your bass.
