The Animals Pedal 1927 Home Run King Comp is a renowned compressor that delivers a natural sound and is incredibly easy to operate. It features a real-time LED display, showing dynamic compression action. The latest edition boasts a larger housing and enhanced artwork, making it not only a functional tool but also a visually striking addition to your gear.

This “natural” compressor is ideal for modern players who seek ease of use without compromising on performance. For many guitarists, compressors can feel complicated and challenging to understand. Unlike more “flashy” effects, the impact of a compressor is subtle—it limits peaks and amplifies quieter passages, often making it harder to perceive compared to other effects. However, for guitarists who love clean tones and effortless sustain, a compressor is an essential tool.

The 1927 HRKC (Home Run King Comp) is the compressor you’ve been waiting for, offering clear, natural compression that is easy to understand and integrate into your setup.

About Compression: A compressor enhances and limits the levels of a signal, effectively shaping the tone’s density. Similar to overdrive, it works without distorting the signal, functioning as an “overdrive with no overdrive.” The result is longer sustain, a more prominent signal in the mix, and a smoother playing experience. This allows for beautiful clean passages with the same ease of playability and dynamic range as heavier, distorted tones.

Key Features

Active LED Indicator: The LED not only shows when the effect is active but also blinks dynamically, visualizing the compressor’s action on the signal in real-time.
Natural Sounding Tone: The compressor’s tone is natural and clear, and the EQ knob lets you shape your sound. Boost the highs to bring your guitar forward in the mix, or darken your tone for brighter instruments or amps.
Low Noise Performance: Achieves studio-grade low noise, using high-quality components that deliver a sound akin to a premium studio compressor.
Simplicity: Three easy-to-use controls and a true bypass foot switch make the 1927 HRKC intuitive to operate.
Power Supply: Powered by a 9V battery or a standard center-negative DC9V adapter.

Think about the ballpark.
When the baseball field was still called a ballpark,
Two superstar bears co-starred in their dreams.
The parabola they drew with their dreams on it was high and stretchy in the night sky.
It sucks in. Like this comp.

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
