[Carefully Selected] 9 Recommended Compressor Effects! [Effects and Uses]

The SP Compressor is a compressor pedal with a wide range of functions in an incredibly small size.

By making full use of the dry blend knob, volume knob (maximum +15dB boost), ``Hi'', ``Mid'', and ``Lo'' compression change switches, and the internal dip switch for controlling the attack, you can obtain a wide variety of high-quality compression sounds, from exquisite vintage sounds to modern contemporary tones.
This little giant can create a wide range of sounds, from cutting out ear-piercing peaks when cutting, to neatly smoothing out arpeggio grains, to creating long sustain with strong compression.

In addition, the OTA (operational transconductance amplifier), an important part that can be said to be the heart of the compressor, is the same as that used in the Ross Compressor and Dyna-Comp, which are the pinnacle of stomp-type compressors, in order to pursue the unique touch and naturalness of vintage compressors.
Furthermore, the boost circuit is designed in the same way as the EP-Booster in terms of tone character, so it is also recommended for those who like the thick tone boosted by the EP-Booster.

The housing is mini-sized and can house a built-in 9V battery, just like the EP-Booster, so it's perfect for those who have little space on their pedal board to fit other effects, or for those who want to keep their new board as small as possible.

The minimalist yet high-end SP Compressor will definitely meet your needs!

The Ego Compressor is a standard compressor pedal that is recognized as the industry standard for compressor pedals in the U.S. It gives a natural compression like a vintage tube amp that no other compressor can provide.

When we designed the Ego Compressor, our focus was on preserving dynamics and ensuring the pedal doesn't color your tone at all. By incorporating Blend, you can blend in the original signal for a studio-class compression feel.

- BJF designed compressor for clear and natural tone
- Compact pedal-like operation makes it suitable for a variety of styles
-Level control that can push the amp and can also be used as a booster
From studio-grade clarity to overdrive-like compression
- High-quality mini-sized case made from machined aluminum
・Built-in battery also available

Andy Wood Signature

A natural compressor with magnificent transparency

The Woodshed Comp is a compressor pedal that provides clear definition and natural tonality regardless of the depth of the compression effect.
It allows you to apply compression while preserving the guitar's sound and transients(*), bringing out the original sound of the instrument.
And because it has extremely generous headroom, by applying compression and raising the GAIN you can boost the guitar sound while still keeping its granularity.

The controls are set to a point that allows Andy to always get a pleasing sound in any position, including an Attack Speed ​​Switch that allows him to choose from three different attack times.

(※) Transient: A term that refers to the very moment when a sound first begins, such as the sound of a guitar or bass pick, the attack sound of hitting a snare drum, or the sound of a key being struck on the piano. It is like the contour of the sound.

This studio-equipment quality compressor specializes in soft compression that does not impair the nuances of the performance, and is compatible with a wide range of compression from soft to hard.

There are five knobs: compression, level, gain, treble, and bass. Without the concepts of threshold, ratio, attack time, and release time, you can intuitively create sounds in three steps: compression setting, level adjustment, and tone correction.

It is equipped with an LED that displays the amount of compression, and you can intuitively grasp the compression status by the timing when the LED lights up, the intensity of the light, and the timing when it goes out.

The level and gain knobs are located after the compression, and you can choose to raise (return) the volume that is reduced by compression cleanly with the level knob, or to raise (return) it with a warmth like that of a vacuum tube with the gain knob. You can also set it to any balance.

The treble and bass are flat at the 12 o'clock position, and by adjusting the treble and bass you can change and tweak the character of the compressed sound to your liking.

The volume can also be boosted using the level and gain knobs, so it can also be used as a booster.

■VELVET COMP is a compressor that is as smooth as velvet as its name suggests. The attack time control allows for a variety of playing styles, from glossy arpeggios to long sustained lead playing and fast-attack cutting. The sustain range is set wide, allowing for a wide range of sound making, from limiter-like use to strong compression, regardless of whether it's a clean sound or a drive sound.
■SCT Circuit: In a normal True-Bypass circuit, the audio signal passes through two switch circuits when bypassed, but VELVET COMP uses an SCT (Single Contact True Bypass) circuit in which the signal only passes through one switch circuit when bypassed. This results in improved product reliability and higher sound quality than ever before.

The Dyna Comp is housed in a mini case that is half the width of MXR's standard pedal size, and uses the CA3080, a metal CAN type that is a standard in vintage compressors.
An Attack switch has been added to the basic functions of the legendary Dyna Comp (M102). The attack time can be switched between slow and fast, making it even more convenient.
Power supply: 9V (adapter only/center negative)
Size: 45mm(W)×92mm(D)×55mm(H)

Like its big brother, the HYPERGRAVITY COMPRESSOR, the HYPERGRAVITY MINI COMPRESSOR uses TC's MD3 multiband compression algorithm, which is renowned for its recording, to achieve natural results across the entire frequency range and is also compatible with TonePrint. The state-of-the-art multiband compression and classic vintage compression hidden in its small body will be the deciding factor in elevating your "good tone" to the "best tone."

Hyper Gravity Mini Features List

・Tiny Tone Machine
Like its big brother, HyperGravity, HyperGravity Mini uses TC's multi-band compression algorithm "MD3", which is well-known in recording, to achieve natural results across the entire frequency range and is also compatible with TonePrint. The state-of-the-art multi-band compression and classic vintage compression hidden in its small body will be the deciding factor in elevating "good tone" to "best tone".

Sustain
Adjusts the amount of compression applied. Maximum settings compress the signal heavily for extended sustain, while lower settings provide subtle compression that's perfect for clean rhythm guitar.

·attack
Adjusts the time it takes for the compression to take effect. Lower settings will make the compression take effect instantly, which is effective for fast playing such as chicken picking. Higher settings will give you a punchy compressed tone.

-TonePrint compatible
You can now port the tones of top artists to the HyperGravity Mini Compressor.

·level
Adjusts the overall signal level. Unity level gives a natural effect, while boosting it will bring out the best in lead solos.

- True bypass design
True bypass design prevents any degradation of sound when the pedal is off, ensuring a pure sound without any coloration or degradation.
