To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Keeley Electronics have released their much anticipated mini compressor pedal, which harkens back to their roots in pedalboard compression…Introducing the Keeley Compressor Mini!
When it comes to compressors, it’s not always obvious what they are doing to your signal until you turn them off! Compression is a subtle effect that essentially tames your signal by reducing the volume of the loudest parts and boosting the quieter parts for a more even, balanced sound. In doing so, compressors can be used to add sustain to your sound and also push the front end of your amp like a boost.
Meet Your New “Always-On” Pedal
The Keeley Electronics Compressor Mini is the next generation of Keeley compression and is sure to be your new “always-on” pedal! Designed to make compression as easy to use as possible, this “Manhattan Style” (parallel) compressor is extremely intuitive and delivers the perfect blend of dynamic and compressed guitar. As a result, the Compressor Mini retains all of the subtleties and dynamics of your playing, delivering a natural, balanced sounding tone.
Featuring an all-new transient release time, the Compressor Mini transforms your tone, making both single coils and humbuckers sound more lively and expressive. Additionally, the new automatic tone recovery circuit ensures your tone maintains it’s natural clarity and sparkle, even with high compression settings. The Compressor Mini’s legendary pre-amp tone brings out the best in your amplifier and other stompboxes, making it an essential tool to have in your arsenal. Thanks to the Compressor Mini’s micro chassis, you won’t have to sacrifice much pedalboard real estate either!
