General
Laying it on thick, the extensive Cicognani Florence 1176 is not just a compressor, but a sustainer, limiter, and a masterful tonal magician. Dial through an immense sonic library via a healthy bank of eight control pots, which hands you deep control over the compression, managing the amplification level of the quietest parts and the maximum volume of the loudest, while the volume pot sets the output and serves as the limiter. This flexible pedal is a highly intuitive tool for carving the perfect slot in the mix, whether on stage, at home, or in the studio, while the Release pot acts as an impressive sustainer, and slapped right in the middle of the control panel, you'll find a genuine 12AU7 valve - the core flavour-maker of this supremely versatile stompbox. This boutique-grade Cicognani innovation is a solid addition to the effects chain for bassists and vocalists, as well as guitarists.
