High-end Japanese guitar maker Oopegg just unveiled a line of pedals called Super Retro Series comprised of three products: a compressor, a reverb, and a fuzz. In this post, we’ll focus on the Oopegg Compressor OCP-1.
Hand-made in Japan, this is an analog compressor pedal that features a circuit inspired by early tube electro-optical units. ‘
Notwithstanding its simple look, the OCP-1 is not an affordable pedal (it sells for around $245 in the US), due to its high-end components and hand construction.
The four knobs (Compression, Attack, Volume, and Tone, which is unusual in a compressor) open up a wide range of tonal options, from subtly increasing the dynamic consistency of your performance to full-on squeeze.
