Description
The Olinthus Pillbug is a miniature analog compressor and sustainer pedal designed to manage dynamics across a wide variety of setups and styles. Built around an operational transconductance amplifier circuit inspired by compressor pedals of the '70s and '80s, it provides dynamic response from gentle squeeze to soaring sustain.
Its ultra-compact format allows placement directly on a guitar, on a synth, between other pedals, or on top of another unit. The pedal is turned on and off by pressing anywhere on the lower half of the enclosure, and all audio and power connections are handled through an included breakout cable.
Features
- Vintage-style analog operational transconductance amplifier compression circuit
- Three sound-sculpting controls for compressed and sustained tones
- Foot switching engaged by pressing anywhere on the lower half of the pedal
- Included breakout cable providing 1/4" input, 1/4" output, and 9V power jack
- Compact format sized to fit on instruments, synths, or tight pedalboard spaces
