The Millibar is an
optical compressor,
professionally designed to achieve optimum
action transparency, whether on bass or on guitar. It has been conceived to act on sound
in the same way as the famous studio compressors, without distorting the attack and the
frequencies, a common defect in pedal compressors.
Your instrument’s sound will gain fullness, harmonics and sustain, without any loss in
frequency.

separate controls for compression and sustain
, which allow the user to
choose from a range of dynamic combinations, suitable for arpeggios, solos, grooves
and many other styles and e
