Key Features
Product Ref: 95698
The Intellijel Jellysquasher is a highly versatile compression module and toneshaper. The fully analog signal path provides that sought-after warmth, normally associated with classic compression units. The Jellysquasher is ideal for a range of applications, from changing the tonal characteristics of a sound, to changing the way it reacts within your setup. A log based RMS detector is utilised for a highly unique way to convert audio AC waveforms into a DC level. The result is a warm yet powerful sound that will bring out the best from your input signals.
The module features 3 selectable circuit paths, each with their own distinguishable tonal characteristics and sound. The trilogy is analog circuits is comprised of: Tube, Tape and XFRM. The Tube settings emulated that of a tube amp, adding non-linear distortion, adding secondary order harmonics. The Tape setting provides symmetrical distortion, for both even and odd harmonics. The XFRM changes the way the transformer feedback circuit reacts, resulting in a boost to the low-end of your sound. These three circuits can be activated and combined to achieve interesting and unique results.
As well as the three colour circuits, the Jellysquasher module features a sidechain functions, which is routed via a voltage controllable SVF filter. The SVF filter includes three different filter modes including LP, BP and HP. There is a dedicated trim control on the PCV which provides you with the means to adjust the Q level. Conveniently, the filter can also be used independently of the module for added versatility. There is also an external sidechain input which allows you to trigger the compressor with external sources. Full CV control is provided for a range of parameters including: sidechain cutoff, threshold, ratio, attack time, release time and makeup gain. The output of the module is routed through a hand-picked Edcor transformer, providing exceptional saturation qualities for a more pronounced and punchy sound.
The robust yet ergonomic design of the Jellysquasher is reminiscent of vintage-style compression units with its large Cutoff attenuator and selectable switches. It features 12 patch points in total for in-depth modulation capabilities, including outputs for Cutoff, Threshold, Attack, Release and more. The large colour-coded attenuators provide optimal precision when dialling in your levels. A dry/wet mix attenuator is provided allowing you to blend between the two signals, ideal for utilising New York style compression. An LED bargraph with selectable display modes allows you to monitor the signal level in VU, as well as the gain reduction in dB.
