Miss Nutcracker is a full range booster with a high grade, adjustable opto compressor. With its 0-30 dB gain range, coupled with the well balanced compressor the results are tasty and musical. Use Miss Nutcracker to get bite and sustain, to add an irresistible sparkle. If you think some gentle compression sucks, just turn the compression control to zero (disabled) and use Miss Nutcracker as a versatile, dynamic booster with a tone control.
