Keeley Compressor Plus Pedal

The Keeley Compressor Plus

The Keeley Compressor is the most popular boutique compressor in the world. With well over 50,000 compressors built in our shop, we have an expert understanding of compression, limiting, and sustain. We know what it takes to make an instrument sound like it's been professionally recorded. We know how to make your guitar jump from the mix. We know how to make it fun and easy to play. Keeley Compression is how. The Keeley Compressor Plus is the first true advancement in our 2 and 4 knob compressor line. The new features are simple and straightforward. Now there is a simple Release Switch that is tuned for single coils or humbuckers. No more wondering if you have the attack or release set right. Your humbuckers will have all the attack and punch that they should. Our team designed a gorgeous sounding Tone Control that emphasizes the most sensitive harmonics that can be lost in compression. The Compressor Plus now sports a Blend Control that retains the peaks in your playing and more importantly the proper phasing of your guitar signal. The Keeley Compressor Plus offers the same gorgeous push of frequencies and sweetening of tone that the old comps gave you, now with the flexibility to handle any instrument.

Key Features

• Compression and Sustain : The Keeley Compressor Plus is a compressor with an expander/sustainer. Not only does it act as a regular compressor, limiting the peaks in your playing, it adds more and more gain as notes fade out, providing sustain and expressive bloom to your notes.
• Release Switch : Designed to make it easy to transition between single coil and humbucker guitars. Humbuckers have more average energy than single coils, and this can cause compressors to stay in "compression mode" for a lot longer. With the quick release of the new Compressor Plus, your humbuckers stay true sounding and each note retains attack and definition.
• Tone Control : Taken from analog delays and other vintage effects, this circuit gently adds back in highs lost in the compression process.
• Blend Control : Allows you to get the peaks to come through while adding sustain at the same time. Keep all the peaks and transients with the Blend and Tone Controls while adding sustain on the back end.
• Versatile Usage : Suitable for heavy funk, chicken picking, or a smooth, subtle wash from your guitar. Can be used with your favorite fuzz to create a wall of tone or as the best amp boost you've heard.
• High-Quality Construction : Designed and built entirely by Keeley Electronics in our brand new aluminum enclosure.
