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.
