The Ampeg Opto Comp is an analog optical compressor designed to control the dynamic range of your sound without squashing it. Particularly useful for slap and aggressive pick players, the Opto Comp will control your dynamics while preserving your original tone.

The Opto Comp is an optical compressor which is a type of analog compression that has a softer attack and release. Many compressors have a harsher compression and characteristically quacky tone which some find desirable, but it's not for everyone. The Opto Comp won't colour your tone in any dramatic way so it's ideal for players who want to take control of their dynamics but don't want to lose the tone they've crafted.

With a simple control set-up of Compression, Release, and Output Level, you can shape the compression to suit your needs. Whether you want to rein in some of the looseness in your sound or you play an aggressive slap or picked style and you need to ensure your sound is consistent, you can set the Opto Comp to meet your needs.

Brand

Ampeg

Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. (YGG) acquired the Ampeg brand in 2018—bringing it under the same roof as Yamaha basses/guitars/amplifiers and digital innovators Line 6. Honouring 70+ years of celebrated Ampeg history and the 50th anniversary of the amplifier that put Ampeg on the rock ‘n’ roll map, the first thing developed by YGG was the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT, a product that quickly became one of the most requested amplifiers amongst touring artists and backline companies.

Compressor Pedals

Compressor pedals even out the dynamics of your playing by reducing loud peaks and lifting quieter notes. This can add sustain, smooth out picking, tighten funk rhythm parts and make clean tones feel more controlled and studio-like.

They are useful for country, funk, pop, bass, slide guitar and any style where consistency matters. A compressor can be subtle and almost invisible, or it can become a noticeable part of your sound by adding snap, sustain and extra presence.
