Product Description
Ever wished you could put a studio compressor into a foot pedal. Diamond did and they built it!. The CPR-1 from Diamond pedals not only provides superb guitar compression, it has added features that a boutique pedal compressor has never seen before!.
Tone shaping is available in the form of an EQ knob. Too much high end?.... dial it out. Too much Woomph?.... dial it out. Need that Rickenbacker "Jangle"?....turn it to the right. Need a warmer country lead tone?... turn it to the left. This feature is standard on high end studio compressors, but a first on a compact guitar pedal.
As well as low-noise, ultra-linear signal buffering and smooth opto-based compression, you also get a 2 colour LED that shows the level of compression depth... another Diamond first!
The CPR-1 adds the extra sparkle and sheen to a clean tone that needs to be heard. It also excels at Gilmour type liquid sustaining leads with an overdrive in front of it. The CPR-1 will add fullness and sustain to your tone that can literally make the difference between just being happy with your sound versus 'grinning from ear to ear' about your sound.
Tech Specs:
- Vactrol opto-isolator variable resistance path as used in high-end studio compressors for smooth attack and decay characteristics while preserving initial signal transients.
- Premium audio components, including 2% polypropylene capacitors,1% metal film resistors and a pro audio grade opamp (Diamond's signal path opamp alone costs 8 to 10 times what the industry norm uses).
- Post-compressor 'tilt' EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response - seamlessly transitioning from a darker jazz voicing to a brighter jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position.
- Double filtering stage in side chain to eliminate low frequency modulation while preserving fast compression response.
- Dual AC capacitive coupling paths for improved transient response.
- Bi-color LED provides visual indication of depth of compression.
- True bypass signal path.
- Battery or standard negative tip 9V DC adapter operation, can be powered from 9 to 18 V negative tip.
