FEA Labs Opti-FET

The name of this new pedal comes from its design that utilizes optical elements for compression dynamics and 100% “class A” FET (field effect transistor)-discrete amplification in the audio path. The Opti-FET also employs a user-selectable side-chain control circuit with an onboard 3-band equalizer and a loop for additional control options.

Standard Features:

• 4.5” by 3.5”

• Threshold, ratio, attack, release and gain controls. The control ranges for the attack and release have been optimized for use on both bass and guitar.

• The COMP LED indicates when the threshold has been reached.

• The ACTIVATE foot switch places the compressor unit in the signal chain or in Direct Bypass mode.

• The ACTIVE LED indicates when the pedal is engaged.

• The EQ and LOOP foot switch enables the three-band equalizer controls for the side-chain control circuit and the external loop feature.

• Loop send and return jacks are for placing external processors or EQ’s in the compressor side-chain control circuit, when the EQ and LOOP switch is engaged.

• The SIDE-CHAIN EQ and LOOP LED indicator identifies when the equalizer and external loop features are active.

• Minimal components in the signal path to maintain the utmost signal quality.

• The onboard voltage charge pump allows the circuitry to operate at 18volts (+9 and –9 volt rails) from a single 9-volt battery or AC power adapter of 9 volts or greater.

• The onboard power supply can accommodate power adapter voltages up to 25 volts DC with protection from reversed polarity.
