OVNIFX Smoothies are out of stock now, and we do not have a plan to build more any time soon. We are taking a break from production. We are not "out of business", but there is no ETA for any new batch. We will continue to provide service to all existing Smoothie owners. Thanks so much for your support and interest!
This batch uses an optical circuit instead of OTA, and we are really happy with the results. This listing is for the latest version, first released in late 2018.
These new ones have essentially the same tone and action as the original OTA Smoothies, apart from these details: It uses a charge pump to boost the 9V supply to a higher internal voltage, to reduce the chance of clipping, for you players with high-output basses. And with this new Opto model you can get a serious dip-and-swell effect at the maximum setting of the Sustain knob. Lower settings get a more natural and unobtrusive action.
Inside, on the circuitboard, is a pair of DIP switches that are labeled "intensity" and "speed". With both set to one side the initial response is fast and strong, and with both at the other side it responds more slowly and gently. You can also set either one of the switches to the opposite side, and get results that are midway between those two modes. This is a huge amount of flexibility, and it means you'll never need to decide whether to buy a compressor for transparency, or one that's more of a squishy effect. The toggles come pre-set to the fast/strong mode.
The OVNIFX Smoothie compressor is packed with features such as clean blend, tilting EQ, super low noise, very wide frequency range, and an LED to indicate the amount of compression. It is designed to work equally well with guitar, bass, or any other amplified instrument. Please visit our website, ovnifx dot com, for all the specs. It does not come with any accessories.
We offer a "forever" warranty on the Smoothie: if you ever have any trouble with it, contact us and we will do our best to make it right. It's up to our discretion whether that means repair, replacement, or refund.
Please watch the latest demo video!
We apologize for the high price of international postage. We tried using a less expensive method, and several pedals got lost or significantly delayed. The more costly method (International Priority Mail) has not lost or delayed any pedals for us yet.
