1981 Ibanez CP 9, as used by David Gilmour

For your consideration Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1981 Ibanez CP-9

Made with pride in Japan, The Ibanez CP-9 Compressor/Limiter is a vintage 3-knob pedal (Attack, Level, Threshold) from the early 1980s 9-Series, known for its warm, slightly bright, and "glassy" compression. Manufactured in Japan by Maxon, this all-analog unit provides a musical, less-transparent, and often more subtle effect than competitors, favored for increasing sustain without losing high-end. 

• Controls: Features Attack Time, Level, and Threshold to manage compression, output volume, and sensitivity.
• Sound: Tends to add brightness to the signal, rather than being completely transparent, and can add substantial, musical sustain.
• Production Period: Produced in Japan by Maxon between 1981 and 1984.
• Construction: Part of the durable 9-series chassis, though vintage units can have delicate battery clips or hard-to-press switches.
• Power: Operates on a standard 9-volt battery or AC adapter.
• Usage: Popular with musicians like David Gilmour.
