The Ampeg Opto Comp brings vintage-inspired optical compression technology to your pedalboard, offering guitarists and bassists a sophisticated tool for tonal control. This analogue optical compressor pedal harnesses the smooth, musical characteristics of optical circuits to provide both headroom enhancement and sustain extension for your instrument.
The pedal’s versatile design allows you to dial in everything from fast, subtle compression that tames unwanted peaks to more aggressive settings that impart distinctive character to your sound. The optical compression circuit provides the warm, natural response that has made this technology a studio favourite for decades.
