I can’t seem to find any reviews on the SMPro OC8 Optical Compressor. As usual, my Google searches bring up nothing but garbage and maybe a few prices.

Doesn’t anyone own one yet? Does anyone here know anything about them?
 
no. that company frightens me for some reason. i think it is the whole, 8 mic preamps for $99 thing. scary. very scary.

but 8 channels of optical compression for $499? how strange. who is the market for this? who would need this? certainly interested in this box despite my fear of the company. maybe there is this crazy designer who makes bottom basement preamps and cool sounding optical comps? who knows.

anyway, while on the subject of cool optical comps, you should see if you can find a dod 280 in a pawn shop for $30. its a really cool sounding low bandwidth optical comp. great for sitting on top of the mix table. it has some extreme coloration going on that is really useful for midrangy stuff.

I will attest to that pedal's greatness. I use in my guitar rig. How would one go about using it in a mixing situation.....would I need a reamp of some kind?
