Description
The Meridian Exciter/Compressor is a clone of the Guyatone PS-021 Guitar Exciter / Compressor and its cousin, the PS-020 Bass Exciter / Compressor. It can be looked at as three distinct circuits chained together. First is the classic Dyna Comp, nearly a direct copy but with somewhat reduced sensitivity on the Sustain control, so its use is more as a limiter than a sustainer. The following stage is an exciter, which is very similar to a circuit from a Japanese electronics book in the 1980s (and not unlike the BBE Sonic Stomp, but with no frequency-specific control). The last stage is a Muff-style tone control that pans between a bass emphasis and treble emphasis. However, unlike the BMP?s classic mid-scoop, there is a very slight mid hump throughout the rotation.
