The Keeley Compressor made in the USA. The Keeley has set the standard for tone in the boutique effect pedal world inspiring many players and many builders to take up the craft. The Keeley Compressor was given the Editor’s Pick Award from Guitar Player’s Magazine and awarded Reader’s Choice Award for Stomp Box. It is a true audiophile and studio grade compressor with an exotic rack mount quality in a stomp box form. The sound alone will inspire your creativity.
The Keeley Compressor has become an icon in the stomp box market. Approaching 40,000 units built, you can see it on boards everywhere and heard on countless recordings.
The Keeley Compressor has Sustain, Level, Attack, and Input Clipping.
The Sustain control is the amount of compression, dial it low for an “always-on” soft setting that acts like a limiter to keep your playing professional sounding. Turn it up for that classic Chicken Picking sound or heavy funky sounds. For leads this becomes your toll for endless sustain!
The Attack control is a great way to adjust between single coils and humbcukers. Turn it down for a slow attack and release setting, perfect for Strats and Teles. Turn it up for hum buckers.
The Input Clipping control should be set as high as possible as long as you don’t hear any unwanted distortions from high output guitars (like some humbuckers or active pickups). Then, dial it back so that you have a nice clear tone.
The Keeley Compressor effect has nothing but tone tested components and true bypass switching and the effect switching incorporates a triple pole-double throw switch! The user will marvel at the clean unaffected sound when in the bypass mode and the compressor has an LED for effect indication.
Metal film resistors and capacitors ensure the cleanest compressor on the market. Hand matched transistors to less than 1% tolerance and ensures the musician receives a perfectly compressed signal with no chance for unwanted distortions.
The sound quality of the Keeley comp is unheard of in the stomp-box arena and is only seen in the high-end, very expensive rack-mount or tube equipment.
Standard 9V DC battery and AC adapter connection. Low Current Draw – 5mA.
