Lightning Boy Audio Op-2 Comp

Superior in every way to the highly acclaimed LBA Opti-Mu Prime compressor pedal. 15% more output gain, 60% less noise, wider range of compression, more obvious sounding compression slopes (knee), Lower THD (cleaner tone), significantly improved frequency response. Worthy of a new name. Lightning Boy Audio is excited to introduce, Op-2 Comp. Designed for the studio, tough enough for the road.

FEATURES: 

• Vacuum tube powered optical compressor.  Uses the exact same photo resistor as the famous studio compressor, the LA-2A, for that same, much loved, auto-release characteristic.    
• Super transparent compression capable of being gentle and mild or highly controlled squish.
• Clean tone with a touch of vacuum tube warmth.
• Ultra low noise, even with the volume and compression at full.    
• Wide and well balanced frequency response delivers studio quality in a pedal format. 
• Ships with a pair of new-old-stock 12AU7 vacuum tubes installed.  The tubes used in this pedal have been meticulously tested and selected for low noise and high gain.  That's just 17% of the NOS tubes we buy.  Cream of the crop!
• True Bypass
• Switch between soft & hard knee compression slopes.  Soft is a smooth sounding attack, vs. hard, which is a snappy sounding attack.
