Product Description

The Aphex Punch Factory pedal provides studio quality optical compression for guitar and basses. The Punch Factory takes Aphex's legendary optical technology - normally only found in expensive rack-mounted studio gear - and puts it at your feet and into your live performance. It's truly the most transparent, uncolored compression you can find at any price.

Punch Factory levels out volume peaks and dips, maintaining a consistent level within your mix. Quiet passages no longer get lost, and louder passages don't overpower. All without the pumping, "breathing" artifacts commonly found in most compressor pedals. The new Punch Factory has something that most other optical compressors don't have. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Aphex products.
