Compression/Sustain

Compulator Pro

The Demeter COMP-2 Compulator Pro is a high-quality optical compressor pedal that provides the magical sound of LA-2A type compression in a compact and powerful package. It features the same circuitry as the classic Compulator pedal and adds attack and release controls, allowing users to modify the onset and sustain of the compressor. The pedal enables users to finely tune their compressed tone to mimic almost any type of compressor. Additionally, it includes an adjustable gain boost for deep compression at the flip of a switch and can be set up for two different instruments. The pedal is hand-made in the USA using the highest quality components and is housed in a rugged steel stomp box with heavy-duty hardware. It also features true bypass using an ALCO heavy-duty foot-switch and can be powered via a 9V battery or external power supply. The dimensions of the pedal are approximately 4.75 x 3.75 x 2.25 inches (121 x 95 x 57mm).

Compulator

The Compulator by Demeter is a pro-level optical compressor designed to deliver classic studio optical compression of the 60s and 70s in a compact stomp box form factor. It is known for providing even levels and bright, punchy gain without compromising the original tone. The unit features two controls: compress and volume, along with a foot switch to bypass the effect and an LED to indicate effect operation. Additionally, there is a trim pot to set the overall gain of the unit, and the compress knob offers up to 30dB of gain reduction. The volume knob adjusts the output volume of the Compulator, allowing for level matching between the affected and unaffected signal. The unit is powered by a 9-volt DC supply, which can be either external or internal using a 9-volt battery. The steel enclosure and heavy-duty hardware make the Compulator a rugged and durable unit suitable for both studio and live performance environments.

Opto Compulator

The Demeter COMP-1 Opto Compulator is a compressor pedal designed to provide the sound of classic studio optical compression from the 1960s and 1970s. It is known for its ability to maintain the natural tone of the instrument while providing subtle and transparent compression. The pedal features a Compress knob to control the amount of gain reduction up to 30dB, a Volume knob to adjust the output volume (makeup gain), and a Trim Pot for adjusting the unit's preamp gain to avoid distortion when using a hot instrument input. It is powered by a 9-volt battery and also has a standard 9V jack for power. The street price for the Demeter COMP-1 Opto Compulator is generally around $199.00.

Overdrive and Boost

FOD-1

The FOD-1 Fat Overdrive by Demeter is a versatile overdrive/distortion pedal that combines classic Fat Control/Midboost with a new Overdrive circuit. The pedal offers a wide range of overdrive sound variations, from fat crunch to extra fuzzy to over-the-top distortion. The Midboost control ranges from thin to ballsy, while the Overdrive features variable gain control from unity to over 100 times, with switchable silicon or germanium diodes for different overdrive tones. The pedal also includes a tone control, volume control, and loose/tight switch for further sound customization. The FOD-1 runs off a standard Boss type 9v power supply and is built using 13-gauge steel and heavy-duty hardware for durability. The pedal is designed to provide noise- free and musical overdrive while offering protection from the rigors of the road.

Tremolo

Tremulator

The Tremulator by Demeter is a pedal designed to emulate the classic Fender tremolo effect, also known as vibrato. It features "lopsided" amplitude modulation with a rounded off triangular modulant waveform, providing the classic effect found on many vintage amps but with less noise and hum and a greater range of speeds and depths. The pedal has two controls: Depth and Speed, allowing users to adjust the amount of amplitude modulation and the frequency of the low-frequency oscillator, respectively. Additionally, it includes a footswitch to bypass the effect, an LED to indicate effect operation, and a trim pot to set the bias for the optical unit. The unit operates on a 9-volt DC power supply, either external or internal using a 9-volt battery. The Tremulator is hand-built in the USA and is designed for trouble-free operation.
