Lax Comp - Classic Peak Limiter Style Compressor
Donner's Lax Comp is a modern take on a true classic - the legendary peak limiter compressor. Derived in the 1960s, the peak limiter was an iconic studio staple, beloved for its smooth, warm tone and dynamic control. Donner has meticulously recreated this iconic sound, leveraging advanced components and circuitry to deliver a compressor that's both authentic and versatile. At its heart, the Lax Comp is all about sculpting your tone. It uses a fast attack time and adjustable compression ratio to tame your guitar's dynamics, reining in aggressive peaks without sacrificing punch or expression. The result is a rich, full-bodied sound that remains clear and articulate, even when you're really digging in. This makes the Lax Comp a powerful tool for everything from silky smooth rhythm playing to searing lead lines. But the Lax Comp isn't just a one-trick pony. Its flexible controls allow you to dial in the perfect amount of compression for your playing style and rig. Whether you need subtle glue to hold your signal together or heavier compression for a hard-hitting, dynamic tone, this pedal has you covered. It's no wonder the peak limiter sound has remained a studio staple for decades - and with the Lax Comp, you can now harness that iconic vibe straight onto your pedalboard.
