this great optical compressor pedal here!
The Iris is an optical compressor that’s built around speed and simplicity: a volume control and a three-way compression switch. In my demo it goes from transparent and subtle to very, very serious compression, and it does a nice job of taming top end—especially handy with a Tele for that percussive, clicky country thing.
Pros
- +Very easy to dial in with simple controls
- +Three preset-style compression levels from subtle to heavy
- +Top-end limiting can help brighten an amp without harshness
- +Volume knob can compensate for level changes or push an amp
Cons
- -Noticeable volume variance when switching between compression modes
- -Less fine-tuning than full-parameter compressors (by design)
