Tokai Compressor TCO-1

Description

The Tokai TCO-1 is a compressor pedal that uses a single control to set the amount of compression applied to the signal. Turning the knob clockwise increases the compression ratio, which reduces the dynamic range between quiet and loud notes, making the overall output more consistent. This effect can add sustain to held notes and even out picking dynamics. The pedal is designed for use with electric guitar and operates as a standard effects pedal, with an input and output for connecting in a signal chain. It is powered by a standard 9V DC connection, and its compact enclosure is suited for pedalboards.
