The Alma Compressor MK3, an opto-isolator compressor, is an evolution of it’s predecessor; it retains all the original elements and it adds a few more.
A voltage doubler (internal circuit) doubles the voltage being fed. This makes it possible to have 36v when powering from an 18v supply. The pedal can be run from 9v to 18v (max). The higher voltage operation significantly increases the headroom and prevents unwanted clipping/distortion, caused by hotter signals.
CLN: Clean signal. When mixed with the compressed signal, the CLN allows for parallel compression, which can help bring some of that clarity back to your playing. This acts as a Volume control for the clean signal.
COM: Compression/Gain level. This is the compression amount. It acts, both, as the threshold and makeup gain.
VOLcom: Compressed volume signal. This is the volume for the compressed signal.
EQZ: Tilt equalizer. Together with the SHIFT EQZ, the EQZ allows to gently (and musically) compensate for different sounding instruments.
SHIFT EQZ: Shifts between 900Hz or 250Hz for the tilt EQ center frequency.
RATIO SWITCH: 2:1/ 4:1/ 8:1 compression ratios
ATK SWITCH:. Select between slow and fast attacks
-6db SWITCH: -6db attenuation at the input
Voltage Operation
Current Draw
I heard that the Alma Bass Compressor does the same fattening of a bass tone that the Diamond Bass Compressor does. I’ve been A-B testing and sure enough, it does. The Alma has the same type of tilt EQ that we love so much, and it also offers 2 different compression ratios, which the Diamond doesn’t. The sound is very, very similar. At first, the Diamond sounded a little bit more open to my ears, but with some knob-turning I got them sounding identical. This is a nice unit in a compact, sturdy package. I often use this as a thickening boost with little or no compression at all and it’s wonderful that way. With a slight twist of the tilt EQ, it add some wonderful character to bass tone.
Best bass compressor I have used!
