Compressor Pedals

Although compressor pedals are extremely popular among studio musicians and seasoned guitar players, many newer players are unfamiliar with the amazing abilities of the compressor stompbox. When a guitarist plays with a compressor pedal in their pedal chain, the difference is subtle but striking. Essentially, compressor pedals increase the volume of quieter audio signals and limit the volume if the signal reaches a set level. This squashing of the guitar’s audio signal is an intentional narrowing of signal range and creates a more evened volume level. The result is studio quality tones, and you’ll be amazed at how good your guitar can sound. In fact, many guitarists run a compressor pedal at the front end of their pedal chain and leave it on the entire time they are playing, regardless of what other guitar effects pedals and stompboxes have been engaged.
