Need help?Do you have a question about the Ampeg Opto Comp and is the answer not in the manual?
Highlights key features like smooth compression, versatile controls, true bypass, and durable construction.
Connects instrument signal via unbalanced 1/4" cable; note internal pad jumper and battery drain.
Activates/deactivates the Opto Comp pedal, which is true bypass when disengaged.
Illuminates purple when the pedal is engaged, providing visual status.
Adjusts overall compression ratio from 1:1 to 10:1, balancing dynamics and adding punch.
Sets the time it takes for the compressor to end gain reduction, from 75ms to 600ms.
Controls overall output volume from mute to +14 dB; active only when pedal is engaged.
Indicates the amount of gain reduction by increasing brightness.
Connects to amplifier, mixer, or interface; signal level affected by volume control when active.
Connects external 9V DC power supply; use correct model to avoid damage.
Pedal can be powered by a 9V battery housed inside; unplug input when not in use.
Bottom panel access allows adjustment of the -15 dB pad jumper for high-output instruments.
