Presenting the all new Aguilar TLC Compressor EQ DLX Bass Compressor Pedal, expanding on the trusted TLC design, with deeper control and broader tone shaping.
The TLC COMPRESSOR EQ DLX is now enhanced with expanded controls and musical EQ shaping.
Powered by the same advanced DSP platform as the Octamizer DLX, it offers a wide range of tone-sculpting options, from subtle dynamic smoothing to bold, punchy compression.
A refined blend section allows for precision control, while new broadband bass and treble boosts—modeled after classic studio EQs—add low-end depth or high-end presence without additional gear.
The addition of an LED gain reduction meter provides real-time visual feedback, making it easy to fine-tune your sound for any playing situation.
Designed By bassists, For bassists, the TLC Compressor EQ DLX is a flexible, professional-grade tool for achieving consistent, musical compression on stage or in the studio.
Full Featured Compression and Visual Monitoring
Precision control with real-time feedback.
The TLC DLX includes an LED gain-reduction meter that provides instant visual feedback on how dynamics are being shaped. This makes setup faster, more accurate, and easier to repeat across different instruments and playing environments.
From light dynamic smoothing to aggressive peak control, the compressor remains transparent, musical, and responsive.
Parallel Compression with Blend Control
Get Punch and consistency without sacrificing feel.
The Blend control enables parallel compression by mixing the uncompressed signal with the compressed tone.
- Preserve articulation and touch sensitivity
- Add punch, sustain, and consistency
- Dial in compression that feels natural under the fingers
Fully clockwise delivers the compressed signal, while blending in the dry signal maintains nuance and dynamic expression.
Musical EQ Inspired by DB 925 Circuits
Enhance your tone after dynamics are controlled.
Once the compression is set, the TLC DLX provides integrated tone shaping, with Bass and Treble boost-only EQ inspired by Aguilar’s classic DB 925 boost circuits.
- Bass Boost - adds fullness and low-end weight without muddiness
- Treble Boost - enhances clarity and articulation while staying smooth and musical
Used alone OR in combination with compression, these EQ controls add depth, warmth, punch, and presence to the bass signal.
A Compact Channel Strip just for YOUR Bass
The TLC DLX Compressor EQ functions like a complete channel strip for your pedalboard—combining dynamic control, visual monitoring, parallel compression, and musical EQ into a single unit.
It’s designed for bassists who demand consistent dynamics, refined tone, and intuitive control in real-world performance environments.
From subtle dynamic control to firm limiting and musical tone shaping, the TLC DLX delivers professional compression that feels natural, sounds musical, and performs reliably night after night.
