Step into a world of dynamic control with the Electro-Harmonix XO White Finger, a compressor pedal designed to elevate your sound with precision and versatility. This all-analog optical compressor is inspired by the celebrated Black Finger and studio-grade NY-2A, yet it offers a unique twist by utilizing FETs instead of tubes. This design choice not only keeps your tone pristine but also makes the White Finger more accessible for musicians on a budget.

Explore the dual personality of this pedal with its two distinct optical sensor settings: LED and Lamp. The LED mode provides a fast, punchy response perfect for energetic riffs and solos, while the Lamp mode delivers a slower, more fluid compression ideal for lush chords and atmospheric textures. Engage the "SQUISH" function in Lamp mode to extend attack times, offering a heavier compression that breathes life into any performance, whether you’re strumming on a guitar or laying down melodic keys.

Whether you're polishing your live sound or adding depth to your studio recordings, the XO White Finger ensures flexibility and quality without compromise.

Key Features:

• All-analog design with FET-based compression
• Dual optical sensors: LED (fast) and Lamp (slow)
