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.

Category

Compressor Pedals

Compression reduces the difference between louder and quieter parts of the signal. It can restrain peaks, lift decaying notes and make picking feel more even, but strong settings also change the attack and add audible sustain or pumping. Threshold, ratio, attack, release and blend determine when gain reduction begins, how firmly it acts and how much natural transient detail remains.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Battery Powered

Can operate from an internal replaceable battery, usually with different available current and running time from an external supply. Battery chemistry, access and automatic disconnection through the input socket affect practical runtime and storage. High-current digital processing generally shortens battery life more sharply than a simple analogue circuit.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
