The Maxon CP101 Compressor pedal provides clean, smooth compression with ultra-low noise and incredible transparency. Its optical circuit has a slow, smooth reaction time that allows the initial note attack to pass through without being compressed, creating a more natural picking feel. The CP101's low compression ratio prevents changes to a note’s attack characteristics, yielding a more natural picking response. It can be used to increase an instrument’s sustain or to limit signal peaks for a smooth, even output.
