ThorpyFX The Fat General Mark 1 Optical Compressor

The ThorpyFX FAT GENERAL MKI is a premium compressor pedal developed in collaboration with renowned designer Dan Coggins. Engineered to deliver smooth, transparent compression, it enhances sustain, balance, and clarity while preserving the natural dynamics and character of your instrument.

Unlike many traditional compressor designs, the FAT GENERAL MKI minimises unwanted noise and pumping, making it equally effective as a subtle always-on tone enhancer or for adding greater consistency and sustain to your playing. Its intuitive control layout makes it easy to dial in musical compression without sacrificing feel or articulation.

Built to ThorpyFX's exacting standards, the pedal features a rugged enclosure with recessed controls and top-mounted jacks, helping to protect settings while maximising pedalboard space.
