Black Finger

Optical Tube Compressor
Dual tube magic! Using the same professional-grade techniques as the most revered, vintage, high-end studio compressors, the Black Finger delivers truly professional performance compression. Unlike other "tube hyped" products on the market, which use 9 to 50 volts, the Black Finger's toroidal transformer allows for a full 300 volts of swing, preserving the attack while providing the warmest compression imaginable. Fantastic sustain, and a must for any amplified acoustic guitar.

We've been playing these EHX Strings ever since we first took them home to try them out, back in 2002.

We find them to consistently offer rich harmonics with powerful definition, while also lasting longer and staying in tune longer than conventional strings.

We use them, we like them, and we think you will too. Available in 9's, 10's, 11's.
