Unlock studio-grade compression with the ThorpyFX Fat General, an optical parallel compressor designed for guitarists who demand exceptional tone. Born from the renowned OTC-201 compressor and refined by ThorpyFX and Dan Coggins, the Fat General offers unmatched sustain and balance without the noise or pumping common in other compressors.

Dual Modes for Ultimate Control:

• Blend Mode: Mixes your dry signal with the compressed signal. The Blend knob adjusts from 100% dry (counter-clockwise) to a parallel mix of dry and compressed tones.
• Juicy Mode: Applies full compression, with the Blend knob functioning as a volume control.

Both modes feature a Sustain knob for precise compression control, from subtle enhancements to full sustain. A versatile treble control ensures compatibility with any guitar or amp setup, letting you dial in the perfect tone effortlessly.

Transparent and Sparkling Compression
With its ability to remain transparent while adding clarity and sparkle, the Fat General is destined to become an essential part of your rig. For many, it’s an always-on pedal.
