Uncompromising compression for unparalleled tone!

Experience the ultimate in compression with the Pete Cornish OC-1, an optical compressor designed to deliver unmatched tone while preserving your frequency response.

Engineered with precision and attention to detail, the OC-1 ensures that no distortion is introduced and the added noise is kept to an absolute minimum.

Unlike traditional compressors, the OC-1 separates the signal monitoring and gain reduction drive circuits from the audio circuits, preserving the integrity of your sound.

With the unique Blend control, you have the ability to blend in a small percentage of the original, uncompressed signal with the compressed output.

This lets you retain the natural attack of your instrument even with high compression settings, while benefiting from the extended sustain.

Experience the unmatched quality and transparency of the Pete Cornish OC-1 Optical compressor, and take your tone to new heights!
