Hamstead soundworks Zenith Amplitude Controller

HAMSTEAD SOUNDWORKS Zenith Amplitude Controller compact effect pedal is a powerful EQ, Boost, and Compressor delivered in one compact and incredibly flexible package. From subtle tone shaping and compression that is felt and not heard, through to extreme sound sculpting and sustain beyond the natural realm, Zenith’s three circuits cover it all. Digitally controlled switching then allows the 100% analogue EQ and Compression circuits to be accessed independently, all via one OptoKick footswitch.

Boosted high frequencies are present but not harsh; boosted lows remain tight while adding warmth, and the Middle control offers a huge amount of flexibility with its three-position ‘Q’ and Frequency switches.

Compression is an often misunderstood and potentially complex effect in guitar culture. The compression circuit has a very fast attack and medium/long release and is designed to work with any setup and remain very transparent.
The feel of the compression can also be dialled in with the Blend control, allowing natural pick attack but also hugely increased sustain.
Covering a wide range from subtle level balancing through to hard compression with very musical bloom, pro compression has never been easier to achieve.
