{"product_id":"nu-x-ncp-2-sculpture-mini-compressor-pedal","title":"NU-X NCP-2 Sculpture Mini Compressor Pedal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NU-X NCP-2 Sculpture is a mini compressor pedal built for players who want tighter dynamics without giving up their natural playing feel. Sustain and level controls set the amount of compression and the output volume, so you can even out your picking and hold notes for longer. It suits long sustain chords and clean lead tones equally well, and the small footprint means it fits neatly on a crowded board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend control is the part that keeps things sounding musical. Rather than squashing everything, you can feed some of the unaffected dry signal back in, which brings back a bit of the natural attack that heavier compression tends to remove. On top of that, the pedal gives you two modes. Hold down the on\/off footswitch and it swaps between a soft clip mode and a clean compression mode, so you can pick between a rounder, slightly driven response and a transparent squeeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a 9V DC centre-negative supply (called a center-negative adaptor in the US), which is not included, with a current draw of around 75 to 100mA. Input impedance is 1M Ohm and output impedance is 20 Ohm, so it plays nicely in most signal chains. The housing measures 94 x 53 x 51mm and weighs 174g. Controls are kept simple with Sustain, Blend, Level and the combined on\/off\/mode footswitch, making it quick to dial in a usable sound and get on with playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9Vdc (centre-negative power adaptor required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1M Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSustain.
