optical compressor
The Millibar is an optical compressor, professionally designed to achieve optimum action transparency, whether on bass or on guitar. It has been conceived to act on sound in the same way as the famous studio compressors, without distorting the attack and the frequencies, a common defect in pedal compressors. Your instrument’s sound will gain fullness, harmonics and sustain, without any loss in frequency. It benefits from separate controls for compression and sustain, which allow the user to choose from a range of dynamic combinations, suitable for arpeggios, solos, grooves and many other styles and effects.
