PJB X2C Pedal / Multifunctional Dual Band Compressor.
Dual Compressor with Dual effects loop Crossover for performance and recording
Phil Jones Bass proudly introduces the PJB X2C, revolutionizing compression for bassists striving for sonic perfection. The X2C incorporates the most advanced compressor circuit technology and is named for its dual compressors. The X2C also offers comprehensive tone control with a unique dual crossover feature which divides the signal into frequency bands ranging from 100Hz to 500Hz, ensuring exceptional clarity and dynamics in tone refinement.
With insert jacks on each band, the X2C unlocks limitless creativity, enabling players to use various FX pedals for custom tone sculpting. Additionally, it functions as an electronic crossover, ideal for driving high-performance, 2-way bass rigs.
Dual-Band compression is more flexible than standard single-band compression. The results sound more natural and transparent. It provides greater control over shaping and managing dynamics. For instance, standard compressors affect the entire frequency spectrum of an audio signal, whereas, multi-band compressors enable you to treat specific frequency ranges of an audio signal. For example, you can compress the low frequencies while preserving the high frequencies, or vice versa.
Treating the low-end with a dedicated band also allows you to apply heavy compression without affecting the midrange frequencies, which carry the attack of the sound. This ability is vital when you want a consistent low-end level and a dynamic midrange.
The X2C is not only a compressor, it also allows you to add your own unique character to your bass and sound. Effects can be plugged into the insert jacks and controlled separately. For instance, the lows can be adjusted separately for an overdrive pedal while the highs can be controlled for a chorus. This flexibility can only be found only on the X2C and provides virtually unlimited ways of creating a distinctive voice.
The X2C divides the audio spectrum of bass into fundamental frequencies and harmonics. This is really useful, for example, on slapping techniques. The low frequencies can be compressed without changing the dynamics of the “slap”. By controlling the low frequency dynamics and focusing on the attack of the slap the amplifier can actually sound louder without the amp or speakers going into overload. So just the low band can be compressed without the harmonics being affected.
In addition, the send jacks can go to different amplifiers/speakers for a bi-amplification set up. Compact and potent, the X2C embodies studio-grade excellence, setting a new standard for dynamic processing in an uncompromising, portable peda
