OVERVIEW
A tube hybrid with a silky attack and smooth compression.
This level of sonic integrity has been reserved for the kilo-buck price range, until now. In the spirit of classic OPTO compressors, the 7802 Stereo Opto Tube Compressor is a unique hybrid design of vacuum tube and transformer circuitry combined with modern, high performance components.

The silky attack is achieved via electro-optical circuitry, followed by a robust tube makeup gain stage. Final perfection is presented via the transformer balanced outputs.
