DIAMOND OPTICAL COMPRESSOR JR. W/EQ
Description
The original Diamond Compressor was built to be a versatile 'guitar channel' a dynamics and tone shaping tool to front-end your effects chain much like the gain, compression and EQ channels used in traditional recording studio mixers. That was ten years ago, and now Diamond is releasing the sought-after follow-up - a more compact version of the original - the Comp Jr.
Features:
* Vactrol opto-isolator variable resistance path as used in high-end studio compressors for smooth attack and decay characteristics while preserving initial signal transients.
* Post-compressor 'tilt' EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response seamlessly transition from a darker jazz voicing to a bright jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position.
* Optimized gain staging and use of ultra low noise transistor and opamps in signal path for lowest possible noise and extended signal headroom.
* Premium audio components, including tight tolerance Panasonic PPS capacitors and metal film resistors.
* Top mounted jacks on a small enclosure for tight pedalboard layouts.
* 9V battery power, with standard 9V negative tip adapter ready.
* Bi-color LED provides visual indication of depth of compression and power.
* True bypass operation.
