The TLC Compressor® is designed to give musicians the ability to control their dynamics in a flexible and musical way, making it an invaluable musical tool for both recording and live use. Our proprietary Trans Linear Control (TLC) circuit enables us to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in a small package.

"Now that I have the TLC, I honestly dont think I can ever live without it. Love at first listen!"
Matt Noveskey - Blue October
"I absolutely love what the TLC does with bass... Fundamentally transparent with just a touch of color, it comes really close to emulating the 'vintage' tonal qualities of studio compressors I've played through costing 10 times more."
Adam Nitti - Dave Weckl Band
"The TLC sounds better than most rack compressors. You will never hear my bass again without it. Thanks Aguilar!"
Eric Smith - Rihanna
