CP-101 Compressor

The Maxon CP-101 Compressor is a high-quality guitar effect pedal designed to provide clean, smooth compression with ultra-low noise and incredible transparency. Its optical circuit features a hand-selected photocoupler, ensuring a subtle and transparent compression that does not alter the pick attack characteristics. The CP-101's low compression ratio prevents changes to a note's attack, yielding a more natural picking response.
