Pete Cornish OC-1 Optical Compressor

Maker: Pete Cornish Model: OC-1 Condition: New   Description: Many years in the development, we are proud to present our first Optical Compressor: designed specifically for, but not limited to, guitar. In common with our recently introduced CC-1, the OC-1 is a completely original design, not copied from any previous or current device. A Feed-Forward design, the OC-1 features a minimized two stage audio signal path: input buffer and output make-up gain: this ensures no change to frequency response, no distortion and the absolute minimum of added noise. Between the two audio sections is a light controlled variable attenuator driven with a control current generated by the Side Chain. All signal monitoring and gain reduction drive circuits that are separately routed via a six stage Side Chain: these signals do not pass through the audio circuits and thhus cannot degrade the audio performance. Operation is straight forward:Connect guitar using screened cable to the OC-1 INPUTConnect OC-1 OU
