It sounds like a decidedly less-pumpy squeezer , one that you ’ d leave on all the time , then miss if you ever decided to turn it off . To really nail that Knopfler tone , it is highly recommended to go with the original values above , but this version is a great compromise between “ barely there ” and extreme squish . Keep in mind that the Sustain control completely kills the signal when set too low , and that it was originally a trimpot for this exact reason .
Until next time , up the irons !
What does it sound like ?
