Tsakalis Audioworks Zipper MKII Optical Compressor

The first thought that comes to mind when listening to the phrase optical compressor is no other than the old and unique Urei LA3A! Our goal was to create an optical compressor with such simplicity, capabilities and warmth but at a compact size, and the result is the Zipper MKII! The Zipper MKII is a discrete and quiet optical compressor with tons of headroom and punch to your sound without changing your tonal character. The hand-selected optical element provides auto adjustable Attack and Release, depending on the signal’s strength and amplitude. Select between Hard and Soft ratio from a dedicated toggle switch, Hard being 10:1 and Soft being 4:1 compression ratio. The pedal can be used as a maximizer or clean booster with the compress control up to 9 o’clock. At high compress settings the sound becomes punchy and percussive perfect for “Gilmourish” licks, funk and chicken picking styles. This is a high end Pro-Audio compressor at your feet!

Our daily endeavor is to bring the sound that lives in our head to life.

For us, building pedals means to inspire musicians who inspire us.

It feels like yesterday when founder Chris Tsakalis was looking for feedback on his new custom built – tube driven overdrive, from players who he repaired gear for in Athens. That first attempt, that grew up to become the “Gravity Spot”, was the spark needed to gather the attention of the local musical society.

A few years later, and with a wide range of effects to share with the world, came our first international trade show in Frankfurt followed by the NAMM show.

We believe in the process of hand building and we plan to keep it that way. We believe in simple and easy to use pedals which provide the player with many different options without getting in his/her way. We believe in quality components. We believe in research. We believe in interaction. We believe in music.

This is not a job for us nor will it ever be. We live and breathe tone.
