This pedal just arrived the other day and is already sitting on my board. It's an AWESOME compressor. I would say the Origin Cali76 Compact Deluxe has a fair competitor with the Phi. The Phi is SUPER quiet for a compressor. The optical compressor is far better than a previous one I had (Diamond) and the FET is very smooth, and again, quiet. Best compressor I've ever played, and I've played a lot of em: Maxon CP101, Analogman Bi-Compressor, Diamond CPJr, Origin Cali76 Compact Deluxe, Wampler Mini-Ego. The Phi beats them all!
Agreed. This pedal is more subtle and musical, based on my experienced, and is a little more limited in its ability to overly-squash, which I prefer. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability or resources to put the two in a head to head and publish it on youtube.
Thanks to the chemist for the CTC love. Some amazing sounding and wonderfully unconventional ideas come in little boxes from Greece!
That was the most tasty licks to show off that pedal. Great playing Mike. Very inspirational
Putting optical and FET together in one pedal is a great idea. I'm surprised it hasn't been done much already.

Bradley Geary it would be pretty great to see a head to head between this and the cali76, don't you think?

Totally!
Damn son!
Awesome compression, but over the top playing!
In the "FET" option, is optical with FET or just be Optical compressor or FET options? Or the FET give an "extra" to the compressor? Thanks.
