Compression Pedals

Compression pedals even out playing dynamics by reducing loud peaks and lifting or sustaining the average level. They can make clean picking more consistent, add snap to rhythm parts, tighten bass or increase sustain into an overdrive. Attack and release determine how much pick transient remains; ratio, threshold, blend and output gain control the balance between subtle control and an obvious effect. Compression can also raise noise and reduce touch contrast, so compare the controls and metering with the rest of the signal chain in mind.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact devices placed in the signal path to change level, tone, dynamics, pitch, time, modulation or routing. This broad category includes simple analogue effects, digital processors, switching and utility products, so the most important differences are the circuit function and connection method. Check whether a model expects instrument or line level, how it is powered, whether it preserves bass or stereo information, and how its bypass behaves with the rest of the board.

Compressor

Narrows dynamic range by reducing gain when the signal crosses a level threshold. Attack preserves or softens the initial pick transient, release shapes the recovery, ratio controls the strength of reduction, and blend restores uncompressed detail alongside sustain and level consistency.
