Iris is a streamlined, all-original optical compressor circuit, built around a uniquely biased audiophile-grade op-amp and optical network.

Optical compressors are well-known for delivering smooth compression and sustain. The compression toggle gives the user access to three distinct compression amounts, from sweet and subtle, to full on squish! This, in conjunction with a simple volume knob, allows the user to smoothen out dynamics and thicken up their signal. No need to dive deep into over-complicated control options.

Whether you want to even out your picking or make your notes pop off the fretboard, Iris is perfect for the player that wants to skip the frustration and get right to the sweetness and benefits of a dialed-in, studio compressor.

Compressor

A compressor pedal evens out your dynamics, smoothing peaks and lifting quieter notes so everything feels tighter and more controlled. It adds sustain, clarity, and balance — making clean chords ring longer, country licks snap with precision, and funk rhythms pop with consistency. Subtle or pronounced, compression shapes the feel of your playing as much as the sound.

Use it at the front of your chain to tighten your core tone, add sustain to leads, or keep complex passages sitting neatly in the mix. From gentle polish to unmistakable squash, a compressor is one of those foundational tools that quietly makes everything sound more professional and dialled in.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
