The Electro-Harmonix Tone Corset is an OTA analog optical compressor for guitar with Attack, Sustain, Blend, and Volume controls. The Blend knob enables parallel compression — mixing the dry signal with the compressed output — preserving note transients while adding sustain and body. The optical gain-reduction circuit provides a smooth, musical response with a subtle mid-range warmth, distinct from the clinical precision of VCA compressors. EHX founder Mike Matthews describes it as the funkiest analog compressor he has heard on guitar.
The TC Electronic Forcefield Compressor is a streamlined, no-frills compressor delivering warm, smooth, vintage-style compression from an analog circuit design. With true pass-through and a simple control set, it adds loads of organic, musical compression that evens out dynamics and adds sustain while keeping the tone natural. It is voiced for tasty, classic compression rather than aggressive squash, enriching all styles of playing from blues and country to rock. The simple, affordable design makes it easy to dial in and a dependable always-on tone enhancer. It suits players wanting warm, transparent analog compression for clean rhythm, country picking, and smoothing leads without complexity, offering a budget-friendly path to vintage compressor character in a compact pedal.
