Dr. Green The tourniquet
Dr Green · pedal
The Dr. Green Tourniquet is an all-analogue compressor pedal from the Dr. Green FX line by Ashdown Engineering, designed specifically for bass guitar dynamics control. Three controls — input level, output level, and threshold — provide simple and intuitive compression setup. Described as capable of near-valve-like characteristics at lower compression settings, the Tourniquet targets bass players who want analogue dynamic control with a warm, musical feel rather than clinical clamping compression.
