The original Diamond Compressor was designed to be a versatile 'guitar channel', a dynamics and tone-shaping tool that lets you bring your effects chain to the forefront much like the gain, compression and EQ channels used in traditional recording studio mixers. That was ten years ago, and now Diamond has released the sought-after follow-up - a more compact version of the original - the Comp Jr.

Features:

- Variable opto-isolator Vactrol circuitry as used in high-end studio compressors for smooth attack and decay characteristics while preserving the original signal transients.
- Post-compressor 'tilt' EQ provides highly musical frequency response tailoring, allowing for a smooth transition from a darker jazz tone to a clean jangle, with a flat frequency response at the center notch position.
- Optimized gain staging and use of ultra-low noise transistors and opamps in the signal path for lowest possible noise and greater signal adjustment headroom.
- High-end audio components including tight tolerance Panasonic PPS capacitors and metal film resistors.
- Top-mounted jacks in a small enclosure for tight pedalboard layout.
- 9V battery power, with standard 9V negative tip adapter ready to use.
- Bi-color LED provides visual indication of compression depth and power.
- True-bypass
