Released as part of Yamaha’s 100-series in the 1980s, the CO-100 is a Japanese-made opto compressor pedal known for its punchy, characterful response. With Level, Attack, Sustain, and Tone controls, it delivers everything from snappy funk rhythms to smooth, singing leads. The compression is assertive rather than transparent, giving extra sustain and presence without sacrificing clarity, while the Tone knob keeps brightness intact under heavy squish. Ruggedly built and surprisingly quiet for its era, it remains a cult favourite among players chasing vintage compression with personality rather than sterile dynamics control.
