Carl Martin Classic Opto Compressor Pedal – Optical Compression for Guitarists

Take your guitar sound to the next level with the Carl Martin Classic Opto Compressor pedal, an optical compressor that uses a light source and photosensitive cell to control gain reduction. The four intuitive controls – Gain, Level, Compression, and Attack – provide precise control over your tone. The Gain knob adjusts the ‘pre-glow’ of the optical circuit, allowing for a fatter sound. The Level knob matches the output volume to your clean tone. The Comp knob controls the compression ratio, from soft and subtle to hard and aggressive. The Attack knob sets the compression speed, from fast and transparent to slow and sustaining. With True Bypass switching and a rugged die-cast housing, this pedal is perfect for guitarists seeking a reliable and versatile compressor. The Carl Martin Classic Opto Compressor pedal can be used as a boost sustain pedal to make your lead sound cut through, or to add depth and consistency to your rhythm playing. With its cool chicken-head knobs and 9v battery compartment, this pedal is a great addition to any guitarist’s rig.
