Keeley

Description

The Compressor Plus from Keeley Electronics is a compressor pedal designed for players seeking a smooth and polished sustain. Packed with high-grade components, this pedal offers the precision of a studio rackmount compressor in a convenient stompbox format.

Smooth and Natural Sustain From Precision JFET Circuitry

At the heart of the Compressor Plus is Keeley's expertly crafted JFET compressor circuit which provides a natural, blooming sustain. Release times are tuned for single coils and humbuckers, ensuring your guitar retains articulation and definition. From plucking Telecasters to shredding Les Pauls, the Compressor Plus delivers lush sustain without dulling your tone.

Transparent Tone Shaping With Blend and Tone Controls

The Compressor Plus offers unparalleled tone-shaping options for a compressor. Its Blend control allows you to blend in your dry signal, achieving a dynamic yet full tone. The Tone control emphasizes sensitive high harmonics lost in compression, allowing you to recover shimmering highs. From a subtle polish to an ambient wash, the Blend and Tone controls provide transparent tone shaping.

Simplified Setup With Humbucker/Single-Coil Switch

The Compressor Plus features a humbucker/single-coil switch for fast setup—no more guessing attack and release times. Humbuckers receive a quick release, retaining punch and dynamics. Single coils get a slower release for chime and articulation. Whether switching guitars mid-set or stacking with drive pedals, the humbucker/single-coil switch ensures your compressor is optimized for any guitar.

Essential for Looping, Ambient Playing and Pushing Amps

The Compressor Plus is ideal for looping, ambient playing and pushing amps. Its extended sustain and transparent compression help create balanced loops and ethereal soundscapes. Use it to create a wall of fuzzed-out tone or as an always-on tone enhancer. For the best amp boost, nothing rivals the Compressor Plus.

It makes everything sound better

I've had it less than a week, so I can't speak about anything but first impressions. I'm playing a Fender Professional series Strat and Telecaster. I have a Fender 1993 tweed reissue Blues Deluxe amp. It's on the board with (in order) a Cry Baby Classic, 1983 TS9, OCD, Valeton Corral Mod, Mooer Mod Factory Pro, and now the Keeley, going into the amp. I couldn't be happier. It makes everything sound better!!!

Subtle

I was hoping to add this too my pedal board. It's very well made, but the unit is too Subtle. You can not squash the signal at all..It is however very quiet, and well made.

    I love this pedal. I use it as a cleanish boost with a little compression.. pushes my amp into a beautiful crunch with added sustain.. sounds great. I found that my SG (humbuckers) sounds better in the single coil mode while my Stat sounds better in the humbucker mode.. weird. Anyway, strongly recommended.

  • Amazing pedal

    Excellent pedal to have on your board for performances, helps to cut through the mix and has enough settings to dial in the exact tone you want. Helps to reduce any muddiness in your live mix. Would recommend purchase for sure.

    A friend had an EHX Platform pedal, and it was my first exposure to a compressor. I have plenty of dirt pedals now, so I did some research and landed on the Keely. The blend adjustment is the killer feature of this pedal.

    Pops when turned on and emits a radio frequency. Knobs and switches break easily.

    Is the Keeley Compressor Pedal for bass guitars?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Yes. There is no such thing as a bass compressor. They all do the same thing

    Why is the used prices all the same as the brand new prices? Seems like you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot on that front.
