Product information

The Ixion is an extremely smooth, clean, and low-noise optical compressor that gives you an astronomical amount of variation, depth and dimension. It features an ultra-wide tonal palette, comprehensive controls, and an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio. You get the gain-reduction power of an optical photocell, a parallel-compression mix control, and Spaceman's signature discrete FET stages.

The Ixion also provides numerous sidechain features like an equal-loudness filter, an external input jack for signal processing or use with an external expression pedal. There’s also harmonically rich make-up gain, a treble-centric tone control, and the ability to accept up to 18V for higher headroom. Regardless of your configuration, the Ixion always offers the fattest, juiciest tone with a warm, vintage appeal. Use it on guitar, bass or your tabletop and push beyond boundaries into uncharted realms of sonic possibility.

We’ve updated the original Ixion faceplate design to something special for the final batch of NOS Ixion Optical Compressors. This faceplate design was previously only available on an extremely limited Spacelab edition. These Space Mod Ixions are also very limited.

This custom engraved faceplate is a nod to the original vintage device that inspired the Ixion. Although not a clone of the vintage circuit, this cool classic visual design is a fun way to close out this chapter of the Ixion Optical Compressor. We also updated the knobs to be more in line with our current aesthetic. No circuit changes were made.
