ThorpyFX Fat General Parallel Compressor MKII

The FAT GENERAL MKII is an evolution of the critically acclaimed OTC-201 compressor. ThorpyFx and the original designer (Dan Coggins) have collaborated to deliver the next level of compression for guitarists. Unlike many other compressors, theFAT GENERAL MKIIadds sustain and balance to your signal without unnecessary noise or signal pumping. You’ll also notice that theFAT GENERALMKII can be particularly transparent but with a sparkle and clarity that you were missing before. For me it has become an always on pedal, I cant play without it!

Aside from achieving fantastic sonic credentials the FAT GENERAL MKII is built like a tank with physical features such as recessed knobs and top mounted jacks. Robust build does not have to come at the sacrifice of looks, the FAT GENERAL MKII uses a combination of a beautiful stainless steel laser etched centre console wrapped in a tough baseplate.

Internally the premium sound is enhanced through the use of premium components all wrapped in a beautiful custom engineered enclosure.

This is sonically identical to the V1 version the V2 version has an anodised aluminium Black enclosure

Description:

From AdrianThorpe:

The Fat General is our take on what a compressor should be. It is an evolution of Dan coggins original Otc-201 compressor. With knobs for sustain, blend and treble, it has the ability to squish without destroying your Guitars fundamental sound. There are two modes available, Juicy is a compressed signal with a small amount of dry signal blended into it. As the sustain knob increases the dry signal reduces. The BLEND mode introduces parallel blending so that you have more dry signal sitting parallel to the compressed signal but remaining full, fat and awesome. Rather than dulling your guitars signal youll find the treble control allows you keep and enhance the sparkle from your guitar.
