Aguilar
Description

The Aguilar TLC Compressor EQ DLX pedal builds on the original TLC Compressor with a more flexible, tone-shaping approach to dynamic control. Named for its Trans-Linear Control design, the TLC platform is all about smooth, musical compression that treats your signal with care—both technically and sonically. Powered by Aguilar’s advanced in-house DSP engine, the TLC Compressor EQ DLX delivers consistent, studio-quality compression while adding broadband bass and treble EQ for deeper tone shaping. Designed by bassists for bassists, it’s equally effective as a subtle, always-on compressor or a more assertive tool for punch and control on stage or in the studio.

Advanced DSP Compression With Expanded Control

At the core of the TLC Compressor EQ DLX is Aguilar’s proprietary DSP engine, offering precise, low-latency compression with an ultra-low noise floor. Independent controls for attack, ratio, release, and blend allow you to fine-tune how the compressor responds to your playing, from transparent leveling to more pronounced dynamic control. A refined blend section makes parallel compression easy, helping you retain natural attack and feel while adding consistency and sustain.

Broadband Bass and Treble EQ for Musical Shaping

New passive broadband bass and treble boost controls—modeled after classic studio EQs—add another layer of flexibility to the pedal. These EQ points let you enhance low-end depth or bring out high-end presence without sounding artificial or over-processed. Whether you’re compensating for a room, shaping your signal before an amp, or refining your recorded tone, the EQ section allows meaningful adjustments without additional pedals.

A Stage-Ready Aguilar Pedal Built for Precision

An LED gain reduction meter provides clear, real-time visual feedback, making it easy to dial in consistent compression across different instruments and playing styles. Housed in a rugged enclosure and powered by a standard 9V supply requiring 500mA, the TLC Compressor EQ DLX integrates cleanly into modern pedalboards. For bassists who want reliable dynamics control paired with musical EQ shaping, the Aguilar TLC Compressor EQ DLX delivers a refined, professional solution that stays focused on feel, tone, and consistency.
