The Xotic AC-COMP features improved tonal characteristics that have been modified for tighter, yet smooth overdrive sound. With three compression modes and internal dip switches, you can choose your level of compression, tonal character and make subtle adjustments to treble and presence levels.

The Xotic AC-Comp offers 3 modes of compression :

Normal mode: This mode offers a well balanced tonal response that’s optimized for rhythm and lead sounds. It retains perfect string articulation providing distinctive smooth sustain.

Comp off mode: The middle position provides the most open and non-compressed tonal qualities. Voiced for a clean/crunch sound with slightly more mid range, complexity and minimal coloration.

Comp on mode: In the down position, this mode offers additional compression, clarity and tightness ideal for highly saturated tones. Please note this mode may be quieter than the up and middle modes.

Both treble and bass controls are active shelving EQs which come after the gain stage. Each control is capable of boosting cutting the signals by +15dB.

The Xotic AC-Comp also offers 2 DIP switch inside the chassis of the pedal, allowing you to cut or boost both Presence and Treble, bringing a whole new pack of features and sound possibilities in a very compact and resistant pedal.
