Building on the original TranZformer GT and LX pedals first introduced in 2016, API announces two new pedals; the TranZformer GTR for guitar equalization and the TranZformer CMP for compression effects. Both pedals are designed to fit into a standard pedalboard and both use standard 9 volt power supplies.
