Dinosaural is a boutique guitar effects pedal brand founded in 2002 by British circuit designer Dan Coggins, who previously co-founded Lovetone in 1995. Operating from the UK, the brand built a reputation among pedal enthusiasts for hand-made, small-batch designs with a distinctly vintage-minded approach to overdrive, boost, and compression.
The tone of the OTC-201 is very close to transparent. There is zero loss of highs or lows, and in fact the entire frequency spectrum is ruler flat at all settings, except for an interesting time-based change. The most unique feature of this pedal is it was designed to accentuate the treble at the very beginning of each note, to emphasize your pick/pluck attack, and then gently lower those highs as the note decays. The amount of this effect gets stronger as you turn up the Sustain knob. So even under heavy compression, the sound from this pedal stays crisp and articulate. Your attack cuts through the mix, but it does not make the entire note bright or trebly. I love it
This is an optical compressor with a sound all its own. Very hard to come by.
