The Keeley Compressor Plus Pedal is in New condition and made by Keeley Electronics , it is a great Pedal Plus Compressor Keeley Guitar Effect Pedal- The Keeley Compressor Plus Pedal builds on the most popular boutique compressor in the world. Keeley have developed an unrivalled array of knowledge when it comes to dynamic processing and they know exactly what to do to transform your guitar tone. The Compressor Plus features a simple Release Switch that is tuned for single coils or humbuckers. You can flick the switch to get the perfect release setting depending on the pickups you are using. This intuitive control design varies on throughout the pedal with an easy to use Tone Control that is designed to emphasise the most sensitive harmonics that can often be lost in compression. The pedal is also equipped with a Blend control to retain the peaks in your playing and maintain the proper phasing of your instrument. The Compressor Plus is expertly designed and crafted to deliver the same hypnotic range of frequencies and rich sweet tone that Keeleys original compressors gave you and is perfectly suited to any instrument. . Available from Just Pedals for only £ 154.75 More than just a compressor Keeleys dynamic processing expertise has allowed them to implement innovative features into their pedals. As such the Compressor Plus is a compressor with an expander/sustainer on board. Not only does it deal with regular compression limiting the peaks of your playing it also adds more and more gain as your notes fade out. This added sustain can transform your sound completely giving you rich creamy tone that can last as long as you want it to. Gone are the days of notes and bends dying out prematurely the Compressor Plus can bulk up your sound with the perfect amount of sustain and expressive bloom. Quick & easy release settings The Compressor Plus is equipped with a handy Release Switch designed to give you the perfect compression release settings for your instrument. With the ability to toggle between Single Coil and Humbucker release you can easily transition between release settings depending on the guitar that you are using. Due to Humbuckers having more average energy than a Single Coil pickup this can cause compressors to remain in “compression mode” for longer than they should often resulting in dull flat sounding notes. The Humbucker setting on the Release Switch gives you a quick release setting to combat this giving just the right amount of release to sustain your sound perfectly whilst keeping it from sounding off. Keeley tone control The Tone Control on the Compressor Plus is Keeleys very own design taken from analogue delays and other vintage effects units. The units it was taken from used an emphasis circuit in order to recover treble that had been lost when the signal went through a BBD or other analogue delay lines. That circuit has been taken and carefully crafted into a dynamic and complete tone control in the Compressor Plus enabling you to maintain an astounding tone even under heavy compression. Manhattan compression with blend control The Blend feature on the Compressor Plus is the ideal way to get peaks to come through and get sustain simultaneously. You can keep your peaks and transients by utilising the Blend and Tone Controls and add sustain in the back end. Perfect for beefing up your sound and keeping it under control at the same time. 15 years of compression expertise Keeleys Chief Engineer and founder Robert Keeley says that compression was the first effect he found that was hard to make sound good off the shelf. 15 years of development and experimentation have fixed that. Now down to a science but still treated like art Keeleys compression units are renowned the world over for achieving everything from heavy funk and chicken-picking sounds all the way to smooth subtle washes or complete ambient bliss. Perfect for use with other effects both correctively and creatively you can achieve enormous walls of sound without having to spend a fortune on studio time. The Keeley Compressor Plus is studio-grade compression in a box.

Compressor
A compressor pedal is an essential tool used in guitar playing to control the dynamic range of the instrument’s signal. Compressors work by reducing the volume of loud sounds and boosting the volume of softer sounds, effectively narrowing the dynamic range of the guitar signal. This results in a more consistent and sustained sound, with smoother transitions between notes and chords.
Here are the key features and functions of a compressor pedal:
1. **Threshold**: The threshold control determines the level at which the compressor begins to engage. Signals above this threshold are compressed, while signals below it remain unaffected.
2. **Ratio**: The ratio control determines the amount of compression applied to the signal once it exceeds the threshold. For example, a ratio of 4:1 means that for every 4 dB the input signal exceeds the threshold, the output signal will be limited to 1 dB increase. Higher ratios result in more aggressive compression.
3. **Attack**: The attack control sets how quickly the compressor responds to changes in signal level once it exceeds the threshold. A fast attack time will clamp down on peaks more quickly, while a slower attack time allows more transient peaks to pass through unaffected.
4. **Release**: The release control determines how quickly the compressor returns to its normal state after the signal falls below the threshold. A shorter release time will result in quicker recovery to normal signal levels, while a longer release time provides more sustain and a smoother overall sound.
5. **Level (or Output)**: This control adjusts the overall output level of the compressed signal, allowing you to match the compressed signal with the rest of your effects chain or amplifier.
Compressor pedals offer several benefits to guitarists:
– **Increased Sustain**: By levelling out the volume of notes and chords, compressors can extend the sustain of the guitar signal, making notes ring out longer and creating a smoother, more consistent sound.
– **Improved Note Clarity**: Compressors can help even out the volume levels of individual notes within chords, making them sound more balanced and defined. This is particularly useful for fingerstyle playing or intricate picking techniques where note clarity is crucial.
– **Enhanced Dynamics**: While compressors reduce the dynamic range of the signal, they can also enhance the perceived dynamics by bringing quieter passages up in volume, resulting in a more expressive and responsive playing experience.
Overall, compressor pedals are valuable tools for guitarists seeking to control their instrument’s dynamics, increase sustain, and achieve a more polished and professional sound. Whether used subtly to smooth out peaks or aggressively to add punch and presence, compressors can significantly enhance your guitar tone and playing experience.
Guitar Effect Pedal
A guitar pedal, also known as an effects pedal, is a device used by guitarists to alter the sound of their instrument in various ways. These pedals are typically small, foot-operated units that are connected in a signal chain between the guitar and the amplifier. They can modify the guitar’s tone, pitch, and dynamics by applying different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Guitar pedals come in both analog and digital formats, and they allow musicians to create a wide range of sounds, enhancing their musical expression and creativity. They are essential tools for guitarists in genres ranging from rock and blues to jazz and electronic music.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
