This level of sonic integrity has been reserved for the kilo-buck price range, until now. In the spirit of classic OPTO compressors, the 7802 Stereo Opto Tube Compressor is a unique hybrid design of vacuum tube and transformer circuitry combined with modern, high performance components. The 7802 compressor offers smooth, open, full bandwidth compression, while imparting a pleasant, subtle glow to your tracks. The silky attack is achieved via electro-optical circuitry, followed by a robust tube makeup gain stage. Final perfection is presented via the transformer balanced outputs.

Read this comment from Martin Feveyear - Producer/Mixer, Jupiter Studios, Seattle (Brandi Carlile, REM, Queens of the Stone Age, Blue Scholars, The Saturday Knights, Duff McKagan's Loaded, Mark Lanegan):



"Please please please don't make me give this thing back..... It can be a soft and slow lover just like you want your classic Opto to be, or it can be a quick, dirty and grabby little mistress that colours up the party. The only Opto Compressor that I would strap across a mix."
