Gurus Optivalve Mk II Tube Driven Optical Compressor Pedal

The OPTIVALVE Tube-Optical Compressor Pedal is the last word in Compressor Pedals with all the advantages of the legendary Studio Outboards that have made history in music, but more versatile and easier to use.

Use it in different ways as a studio outboard, or on your pedalboard. As a standard compressor pedal to bring out the tone suitable in various styles: funky, blues, rock, etc. Use as a Limiter, to obtain maximum clean volume from your Amp without adding crunch it, or as an incredible enhancer of your TONE.
