Ixion Optical Compressor (yellow edition)

The Spaceman Ixion is a low-noise optical compressor that delivers a smooth and clean compression effect, offering significant tonal variation and depth. Its design includes a powerful optical photocell for gain reduction, alongside a parallel-compression mix control that enhances its versatility across different instruments. Musically, the Ixion is capable of producing rich, warm tones, making it suitable for guitar, bass, and synthesizers. It features a treble-centric tone control and harmonically rich make-up gain, allowing for nuanced adjustments to your sound. Additional sidechain options, including an equal-loudness filter and external input jack, expand its functionality for creative signal processing. The pedal can also operate at up to 18V, providing increased headroom for dynamic performance.
