CARL MARTIN CLASSIC OPTO COMP
An optical compressor performs gain reduction control via a light source into a photosensitive cell. As the light source gets brighter, the photo-sensitive cell sends a signal to reduce dynamic range, or what becomes a compressed signal. The Classic Opto Compressor pedal's four controls (from left to right) are the Gain, which controls the 'pre-glow' of the optical circuit (the more you turn this up, the fatter the sound); Level, which controls the overall volume of the compressor; Compression, which controls how hard or soft the compression is; and the Attack control, which takes the signal from transparent to outright total squeeze.
Un compresseur pour les sonoritƩs les plus oldschool, celles pour qui la coloration du son joue un rƓle important.
Il dispose de quatre réglages : de gauche à droite, nous avons le "gain" qui contrÓle le "pre glow" du circuit optique.
Plus on le pousse, plus le son deviendra Ʃpais.
Ensuite le rƩglage "level" rƩgle le niveau de volume gƩnƩral du compresseur, puis le bouton "comp" dƩtermine le taux de compression.
L'éventail des compressions s'étend des plus douces aux plus extrêmes.
Enfin, le réglage "attack" permet des attaques tour à tour transparentes, percutantes ou plus arrondies.
