Compandrive 65

The CompanDrive 65 from SoloDallas is an all-analog pedal based on the companding circuitry of 1965-era Dolby studio systems, translating a tape-era studio effect into a stompbox.

A Vintage Console Gain Circuit adds harmonic overdrive and presence while shaping the frequency response, feeding a soft-knee '65 Compressor that enhances sustain and note separation while preserving dynamics. Together they recreate the compression-and-expansion behaviour of tape recording chains. It's aimed at players who want studio warmth, sustain and subtle drive in one box.
