Intellijel Jellysquasher

Analog compressor with transformer saturation and color circuits

18 HP Eurorack module

The Jellysquasher is an analog compressor with serious character and color options. It features a sidechain feed-forward compressor routed through an Edcor transformer for natural saturation, plus three analog color circuits (TUBE, TAPE, XFORM) that can be combined for rich harmonic enhancement. The voltage-controlled sidechain filter and parallel compression capabilities make it perfect for both subtle dynamic control and aggressive pumping effects.
