Disappointing, could have been great.

Massi - Milano 20.10.2022

The unit does feel cheap while turning pots and handling but it is very inexpensive, so that's not bad at all.
While there are a few settings that work very good (and that's why it is a real pity the lack of design), in most occasions if you want to get more than almost-zero gain reductions you have to pump input and get a way too hot output which crashes against the next unlucky module or A/D converter. The output level pot can only stay stuck on its minimum, and the output is anyway too loud. What is it made for? I tried to beg some clarifications by Fredenstein with no answers. Two units back to Thomann, pity, I miss two optical comps whith such potential.

Solider Opto Comp

Anonymous 28.11.2016

mit ner slowen attack und ner entspannten release einstellung kommt man zu prima ergebnissen (leads, vox, hhs)
mit schneller attack find ich das processing zu stressig.

an einen la2a kommt er jetzt nicht ran, aber alle mal besser, als die meisten plugin opto emulationen.
