Description
The API Select TranZformer® CMP incorporates API's legendary VCA-type compressor circuit into a versatile and compact guitar effects pedal. Designed to easily fit into your pedal board and engineered to run off standard 9V power supplies, the CMP gives you classic studio-quality compression right at your feet. Other features include a buffered bypass in/out footswitch, adjustable attack and release times, wet/dry blend control, selectable "feedback" and "feedforward" compressor styles, transformer output, and of course the classic API sound.
Features:
- Proprietary API 2510 OpAmp
- Signature API output transformer
- Adjustable attack and release times
- Wet/dry blend control
- Selectable feedback/feedforward compressor styles
- Buffered bypass
