Diamond Guitar Pedals - Diamond Optical Compressor

Description

The Diamond Compressor is a dynamics and tone shaping tool for live and studio use, with low-noise, ultra-linear signal buffering, smooth opto-based compression, and a versatile 'tilt' EQ that musically shifts overall frequency balance. All in a user-friendly 3-control package - Comp, EQ and Volume.

There are light scuffs on the face, but no major scratches/dents. Great shape!

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.
* Premium audio components, including 2% polypropylene capacitors, 1% metal film resistors and a pro audio grade opamp.
* Post-compressor 'tilt' EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response * Seamlessly transition from a darker jazz voicing to a brighter jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position.
* Double filtering stage in side chain to eliminate low frequency modulation while preserving fast compression response.
* Dual AC capacitive coupling paths for improved transient response.
* Bi-colour LED provides visual indication of depth of compression.
* True bypass signal path.
* Battery or standard negative tip 9V DC adapter operation, can be powered from
9 to 24 V negative tip.
