Intended for electric guitarists, the NEXI Industries Urban Series Compressor is a pedal designed to work with the company's Solution pedalboards. However, it also works with standard pedal chains and conventional pedalboards.

Featuring an all-analog construction in an all-metal chassis, the Urban Series Compressor provides a simple operation over a consistent, transparent compression effect. Compression and level knobs are offered, and with these controls, you can secure natural dynamics-taming, or squash your sound heavily to aid light-touch techniques such as tapping. Engaging and bypassing the pedal is as simple as stomping on the large rubberized footswitch. The pedal utilizes a true bypass circuit. So when it's not in use, no trace of the circuitry impacts your tone.

Though intended for use with Solution pedalboards, this stompbox can also work with most setups. Simply remove the rubberized pads on the unit, and you'll find all the customary I/O jacks and connectivity options including a slot for a 9V battery or your own power supply. Either way, the pedal is sure to bring you the gritty sound you expect from an analog stompbox.

Recognizing that pedalboards can often be ungainly, NEXI Industries sought out to fix the conundrum of exposed connector cables, multiple power bricks, and the variable condition of day-to-day gigging life. The result is a pedalboard that is said to be splash proof with no exposed cables or cords. The board even sports an adjustable boost function, a tuner, and a channel switcher for your amp. They call it The Solution.

Into this pedalboard, guitarists have the ability to plug a whole ecosystem of modular, analog pedals in any order they choose. And this is where the Urban Series Compressor comes in: you can plug this pedal directly into your Solution pedalboard by means of a multipin connection on the rear.

Were you to do so, you wouldn't need a separate 1/4" connection for: the pedal's input or output, a 9V battery, a BOSS-style 9V power adapter, or a bunch of hook-and-loop fastener scuffing up the back of the stompbox. Yet the company recognizes that guitarists want the option to use the pedal however they'd like; so, all the conventional I/O and powering methods are on hand.
