{"product_id":"optotron","title":"Optotron","description":"\u003cp\u003eOptotron is an electro-optical leveling amplifier: the audio drives a light panel, the light falls on a photocell, and the photocell turns the gain down. The gentle knee, the ten-millisecond grab, the two-stage release that hangs onto long notes — all of it falls out of that one mechanism, because Optotron models the mechanism itself rather than tracing curves off a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree units share one chassis, and switching swaps the entire faceplate as well as the voicing: SILVER, the modern reissue — cleanest, widest, quickest to recover; GRAY, the vintage reference with the famous program-dependent release and warm tube midrange; and OT-2, the original — slowest, most coloured, with the jewelled power lamp. Loudness-honest Auto Gain, an external sidechain with SC listen, and a Cell Age control that ages the photocell for real round out the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desert Moon Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48247440736492,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4189\/1052\/files\/DMAPDP_aa0f90ef-19f9-41f3-a00e-031c3dd1ca25.png?v=1788119170","url":"https:\/\/desertmoonaudio.com\/products\/optotron","provider":"Desert Moon Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
