Compressor, sustain & noise gate effect pedal
Inspired by the old and unique Urei™ LA3A™, the TSAKALIS AUDIOWORKS Zipper MKII Optical Compressor is a discreet and quiet optical compressor with tons of headroom and punch to your sound without changing your tonal character ! Simplicity, capabilities and warmth but at a compact size.
The hand-selected optical element provides auto adjustable Attack and Release, depending on the signal’s strength and amplitude. Select between Hard and Soft ratio from a dedicated toggle switch, Hard being 10:1 and Soft being 4:1 compression ratio.
Can be used as a maximizer or clean booster with the compress control up to 9 o’clock.
At high compress settings the sound becomes punchy and percussive perfect for “Gilmourish” licks, funk and chicken picking styles.
