And now, compression sanity prevails. ..

Yup,here it is. Yes, I have one on order. Yes, I'll do more clips. Yes it's expensive. http://www.petecornish.co.uk/SAEOC1.html

You know stuffs expensive when there's no price on the page! Ha

Gassage

£420.

Van_Hayden

That's not too bad. Comparable with the Cali76 TX

Gassage

And you get home made labels.

Wazmeister

Why ? Why young James have you posted this ? Eh ?

Kin Gassage is the right name.... All I'm thinking of now is how this'll look next to my other PCs

Wazmeister

Actually mate, it's £432 for the battery free...

Gassage

LOL! I like the young bit...

Paul Shigihara will already have one. I hate him. (ridiculous player too!)

OK- Age? Stats? Location? Active, passive or versatile?

Moustache's are just so 1979.

I'm a compression junkie, but no way in hell would I ever consider spending that amount of dosh on £30 of bits.

hotpickups

That would certainly compress my bank account quite considerably I know it's an old debated question but how can a pedal that does one thing cost that much

Heartfeltdawn

Amazing pedal. It's decompressed your bank account before it's even got there.

Is there any info as to what this circuit is based on? I'm very intrigued as to what it offers over say a diamond compressor?

@thorpy6

THis is techobabble to me but...

Many years in development, we are proud to present our first Optical Compressor: designed specifically for Guitar.
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. All signal monitoring and gain reduction drive circuits are separately routed via a six stage Side Chain: these signals do not pass through the Audio circuits and thus cannot degrade the audio performance.

Ok, I've never heard of any compressor that is described as that, if the babble matches the performance I reckon you'll end up with a lovely pedal.

I still can't imagine it'll be any better than my Dinasaural OPti compressor at a third of the price. But hey horses for courses LOL

Gassage

It'll go well to beat my Compulator- I recall pete saying that the Compulator was a great design but thrown together internally (he's quite damning like that) - so assuming that it's all based on that?

I have one of those, awesome. I'd love to see a comparison though
