The Julius is a compressor pedal based on the Orange Squeezer circuit. It is a subtle effect that requires finding the “sweet spot” using the internal bias pot. The new v2 2023 board has a misprint that says v1.1 r2 in the top corner, but it is indeed the new version. The only difference between this new PCB and older versions is the change of the circuit protection diode to a 1N5817 from the original 1N4001. This clearance PCB includes this change and will be offered soon.

If you are looking for a compressor with a lot of compression control, the MoRC is recommended. However, if you want a small compressor that can fit into a 1590A enclosure and adds rich sparkle and boost to your tone, the Julius is the perfect choice.
