BBE Opticomp OC-5 All-Analog Optical Compressor Effects Pedal Overview :

OptiComp OC-5
STUDIO-GRADE ALL-ANALOG OPTICAL COMPRESSION FOR YOUR PEDALBOARD
Bassists and guitarists alike can benefit from a quality optical compressor pedal, but basses have a special challenge: massive signal-level spikes compared to guitars. Thats why many bassists want to tightly control signal level.

Whether youre just looking to dial in a smoother sound or keep the front end of your amp from clipping, an optical compressor is just the thing. Theres none finer than what youll find in the studio-grade, solid-state OptiComp compressor pedal. In fact, its the same circuit found in the award-winning BBE BMAX and BMAX-T bass preamps. True to form, OptiComp features a beefy mil-spec circuit board with big, fat signal traces, 1 % metal-film resistors and high-voltage poly caps, all backed up by a robust true-hardwire bypass.
