Description
The CP-101 uses a fully analog compression circuit that keeps your attack intact while evening out dynamics and adding sustain. Compared to many stompbox compressors that can feel overly squashed, the CP-101 delivers a more transparent and balanced response, making it great as an always-on tone sweetener or for tightening up clean playing.
Controls are simple and effective:
• Sustain – adjusts the amount of compression
• Level – sets the overall output volume
Built during the golden era of Maxon’s Japanese pedal production, these units are known for their reliable construction, quality components, and low noise operation.
Condition:
Very good overall with normal cosmetic wear for its age. Fully functional with smooth controls.
A great vintage compressor for anyone looking for classic MIJ analog tone without boutique prices.
Condition: Very Good
Location: Montreal, Canada
Seller: Herscheid & The Headbangers
