Hartman Electronics Compressor

In the early 1970s Dan Armstrong introduced the Orange Squeezer, a simple, compact guitar compressor unlike anything before it. Using a combination of hand-selected N.O.S. components and a flexible, modern signal-path, the Hartman Compressor recreates the tight, transparent squeeze and legendary soft-clipping of the original, adding modern amenities like external Ratio and Gain control, LED, external 9V DC option, and heavy-duty true bypass switching. Fast attack and transparent release ensure that even high ratios of compression are free of unwanted transients and pumping.
