The core is a photocell, which generates a very musical optical compression. The pedal helps your guitar to cut through the mix without losing the instruments transparency. Especially due to the switchable parallel compression, attack and punchyness are fully preserved, only sustain is added without any tone coloration. Via a toggle switch also classic serial compression can be selected. A LED indicates the dynamic processing by its brightness. Internally the \"Quantum\" can be switched from \"true bypass\" to \"buffered bypass\". Used at the beginning of the signal chain the \"buffered bypass\" mode ensures a clear guitar tone even through long cables and effect chains. Another LED indicates the activated buffer mode as \"Bypass Buffer On\".\u003cbr\u003eBuffer and compressor: \"Quantum\" is a 2-in-1 pedal! An absolute secret weapon and an \"always on\" pedal!\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Quantum\" is also perfectly suited for bass and acoustic guitar!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003csmall\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis pedal is equipped with our unique \"MagTraB\" switching technology:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eInside the button a magnet is integrated which position is measured by a sensor on the circuit board. If the button is now moved, e.g. if it is pressed downwards, the position of the magnet will also change. The sensor measures this change without any mechanical contact to the button and the information is send via a micro-controller to a gold-plated relay, which then does the actual audio signal switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThe advantages of \"MagTraB\" footswitches:\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disk\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMapTraB buttons are as good as indestructible! \"MagTraB\" delivers an almost infinite number of switching cycles - many, many millions!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo annoying, mechanical switch clicks!
