The folks at OKKO FX have stepped up their game with the Cocaine, an upgraded, and much more flexible version of their Coca Compressor. The compression is controlled by two knobs. They do pretty much what their labels say:SUSTAIN adds nothing but clean undistorted sustain to your tone.SQUASH goes from subtle tone-enhancing to a more pronounced compression effect, but even at full tilt it will preserve the attack of your instrument and keep its character.VOLUME allows for a clean boost, unity gain is around 12 o’clock.BASS and TREBLE are active (cut/boost style) controls for an effective tone shaping.The BOOST knob controls an entirely independent circuit, activated by its own footswitch, just like another pedal in the same box. It’s located after the compressor in the signal chain so you can set the comp and eq for your base tone and hit the boost switch for solos (or the other vice versa) . The BOOST knob is something special. Its neutral setting is at 12 o’clock. Turn it to the right for a full-range clean boost or to the left for a lead boost with tighter bass and pronounced mids. The COCAINE is not only a transparent, natural sounding and exceptionally quiet optical compressor, it also serves as a preamp, active equalizer and dual clean boost.Whatever you plug in – electrical guitar or bass, piezo-equipped acoustic guitar (or any other stringed instrument) – the Cocaine will make it sound more balanced, sit better in the mix and generally just... better :-)You’ll probably get addicted soon, hence the name. This pedal is very lightly used, and we'll ship it to you super fast and super safe in its original box! Feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have about it!
