2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Convex Parallel Compressor is a clone of the Dinosaural

optical compressor designed by Dan Coggins, the chief engineer & circuit designer for Lovetone.

The OTC-201 was made in very small numbers between 2013 and 2016 and remain exceedingly rare

today. Despite this, they are universally acclaimed by the few who have had a chance to try one, and an

OTC-201 can even be found on the

Today, an updated version of the Opticompressor called the "Fat General" is available from ThorpyFX,

also designed in collaboration with Dan Coggins. This version adds a treble control to allow a more

jangly tone to be dialed in, but is otherwise the same circuit as the original.

The Convex is a direct clone of the original OTC-201, with two modifications. First, the internal Mode

switch has been moved to the outside, so the blend/direct modes can be more conveniently switched

between. Second, while the original OTC-201 was buffered bypass, the Convex adds an internal slide

switch that allows you to select between true bypass or buffered bypass.

USAGE

The Convex has the following controls:

• Sustain sets the compression threshold and amount of sustain, from subtle limiting to squish.

• Balance is either a blend control or a volume control depending on the position of the Mode switch.

• Mode (toggle switch, 2 positions) selects between Signal Blend (SB) and Direct (Z) modes. In Signal

Blend mode, the Balance control becomes a blend between the dry and compressed signal, with the

center position being 50/50. In Direct mode, the Balance control is a standard output volume knob

and the signal is 100% compressed.

• Level (toggle switch, 3 positions) sets the amount of pre-gain: -3dB cut, no gain, or a +3dB boost.

Called "Axematch" in the original, the goal was to be able to compensate for low-output or hot

guitars, but it can also be used as a tool to change the character of the compression.
