Maxon CP101 Compressor Pedal

Full Description

Accurate To Your playing Style

The Maxon CP101 Compressor Pedal is equipped with an optical circuit that delivers a slow, smooth reaction time, allowing your playing style pass through without being compressed, for a natural feel and accurate tone.

Subtle

Unlike other compressors, the CP101's compression ratio is extremely subtle, allowing you to forget that it's even on. The CP101 delivers smoother notes and offers more consistent chords and arpeggios, wth focus and sustain. In addition, the CP101 is also equipped with a low noise floor, which eliminates all the undesirable noise and hiss often associated with VCA compressors.

About Maxon

Maxon started out in Japan in 1965 under the name Nisshin Onpa, manufacturing guitar pickups before producing OEM products for other companies. Nisshin Onpa was responsible for designing and manufacturing many legendary pedals while working in partnership with Ibanez, including the TS-808/TS808 and TS9 tube screamers. Although many of the pedals Maxon created were released under the Ibanez name, Maxon was producing pedals under their own name, and in 2002 when the two companies parted way, Maxon began to push its name as a manufacturer of high-quality effects pedals. Today Maxon produce "hard-to-find" vintage type effects pedals, and are used by many artists such as Pearl Jam, Troy Van Leeuwen, Steve Stevens, Brad Whitford, and many more.
