![]() ![]() This compressor isn’t just for heavy funk or chicken pickin’ anymore. So if you want sustain more than peak-limiting, this style of Manhattan Compression is for you! Keep all the peaks and transients with the Blend and Tone Controls while adding sustain on the back end. The Blend Control is a way of getting the peaks to come through while having sustain at the same time. We took that circuit and made it into a full fledged tone control! We have found that it is the perfect way to gently add back in those highs lost in the compression process. Those effects used an emphasis circuit to recover treble and highs after they went through the BBD or other analog delay lines. The Tone Control is our own design taken from analog delays and other vintage effects. With the quick release of the new Compressor Plus, your humbuckers remain true sounding, and each note retains dynamic attack and definition. When this happens, any series of notes you play will sound dull. Humbuckers have more average energy than single coils which can cause compressors to stay in “compression mode” for a lot longer. ![]() The new Release Switch on the Keeley Compressor Plus is designed to make it very easy to transition between single coil and humbucker guitars. The Keeley Compressor Plus adds just the right amount of sustain and expressive bloom to your notes. Nothing worse than a note or a bend that has died before its time. 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. The Keeley Compressor Plus is a compressor with an expander/sustainer. 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 easily handle any instrument. 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. Our team designed a gorgeous sounding Tone Control which emphasizes the most sensitive harmonics that can be lost in compression. Your humbuckers will have all the attack and punch that they should. No more wondering if you have the attack or release set right. Now there is a simple Release Switch that is tuned for single coils or humbuckers. The new features are simple and straight forward.

You may well find it becoming an integral part of your tone: one of those pedals you switch on and leave on.Description The Legendary Keeley Compressor Plus This is one of those pedals you buy and instantly wonder to yourself why you didn’t buy it ten years ago! It’s simply extremely high quality and extremely useful. You don’t always need the sustain and it’s very useful to be able to keep your notes smoothed out and produced while also dialling back on the sustain. The ‘Blend’ control allows you to distinguish between manipulating the sustain and the peaks of the notes. This switch ensures that humbuckers stay true and dynamic sounding. They typically compress a little more anyway and too much from the pedal can take the life out of your playing. This ‘Plus’ model has a useful ‘Release’ switch to compensate for the higher output of humbuckers. It’s such a useful pedal to have on your board, no matter how clean or distorted you like to get. They make your guitar parts sound more ‘produced’ and lively. A great compressor pedal like this will expand the frequency and harmonic content of each note it will bring up quieter notes and soothe down louder ones so that your levels are more coherent without sounding flat. ![]() It’s such a popular pedal (throughout its various guises) that we frequently sell out of out our shipments!
