The DOD Compressor 280 brings legendary compression technology into the modern era with thoughtful upgrades that serious guitarists will appreciate. Building upon the foundation of the original DOD-280, this electro-optical compressor maintains the classic sound characteristics whilst incorporating contemporary features like true bypass switching and standard 9V DC power input compatibility.
At the heart of this pedal lies an electro-optical circuit that utilises a light-dependent resistor paired with an internal LED to control dynamic compression. This sophisticated approach provides smooth, musical compression that enhances your guitar’s natural sustain without introducing unwanted artifacts. The independent Comp and Output controls allow precise tonal shaping – the Comp knob adds subtle volume-leveling that evens out your guitar’s output signal, whilst the Output knob manages your overall volume level.
The compact design makes the Compressor 280 an ideal addition to any pedalboard setup, offering professional-grade compression in a highly portable package. With true bypass ensuring your signal remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged, this updated classic maintains signal integrity whilst providing the rich, clean compressed tones that made the original DOD-280 a studio and stage favourite.
