#Keeley compressor plus#

Forget it all and use the Compressor Plus for the best amp boost you’ve heard. The predecessor, Keeley Compressor, is the most popular boutique compressor in the world with well over 95,000 compressors sold worldwide. Consider it an essential tool when creating loops that sound well-balanced. Looping has never been easier than with this compressor. Bringing together the familiar thick, even tone loved by chicken-pickin' and funk players with new, streamlined controls that dial in even more possibilities, the Keeley Compressor Plus infuses one of the company's staple effects with even more power for silky-smooth tone. Use with your favorite fuzz to create a wall of tone like you’ve only heard on records. Remove just the right amount of peaks for an ambient layer and then blend in the right amount of treble for a nice shimmer to your guitar. The new Compressor Plus is for players wanting a smooth, subtle wash from their guitar. This compressor isn’t just for heavy funk or chicken pickin’ anymore. The Keeley Compressor Plus adds just the right amount of sustain and expressive bloom to your notes. Nothing worse than a note or a bend that has died before its time. Not only does it act as a regular compressor, limiting the peaks in your playing, it adds more and more gain as notes fade out. The Keeley Compressor Plus is also a compressor with an expander/sustainer. The Keeley Compressor Plus offers the same gorgeous push of frequencies and sweetening of tone that the old comps gave you, now with the flexibility to easily handle any instrument. The team also designed a gorgeous sounding Tone Control, which emphasizes the most sensitive harmonics that can be lost in compression, and a Blend Control, that retains the peaks in your playing and, more importantly, the proper phasing of your guitar signal. The sustain from the Keeley Compressor Plus blossoms and blooms like tube amp compression. This pedal will smooth out your sound, polish your tone, make your sustain sing and breathe new life into each note you play. The new features are simple and straight forward now there is a simple Release Switch that is tuned for single coils or humbuckers, so no more wondering if you have the attack or release set right - your humbuckers will have all the attack and punch that they should. The Keeley Compressor Plus effects pedal will help you on your quest for achieving the very best tone. So I'm wondering - did I get a bad one (and I. I know this is part-and-parcel to how a compressor works but it seems extensive here. I've used many compressors in my time and can't say I've run into one this noisy. The Keeley Compressor Plus is the first true advancement in their 2 and 4 knob compressor line. tmbridge said: Hi all, I recently purchased a used Keeley Compressor Plus and it seems a bit noisy to me. Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but I have the Comp Plus with the 0 to 100% blend knob, as opposed to the 50 to 100%.The Legendary Keeley Compressor is the most popular boutique compressor in the world, and with well over 80,000 compressors built by Keeley, they have an expert understanding of compression, limiting, and sustain.

Single coils and humbuckers in equal amount. I play blues and classic rock most of the time and, on occasion, I'll fiddle with some ambient stuff. I like the feel of the pedal, but I'm struggling with the sounds I'm getting. If theres one Keeley pedal that has captured the imagination of musicians, its the Keeley compressor, itself based on modifications to the classic MXR Dyna Comp/Ross grey compressor circuitry. I also tried to simply lower the blend, but to no avail. I was expecting to use the the Keeley in a similar manner but, like I said, as I increase the sustain, it gets louder (not in a good way), forcing me to lower the volume (which also gets me a not-so-great sound).

I used it with the sustain at 50 to 70% and the volume pretty high, depending on the room/amp volume. You also get the controls to shape your sound exactly the. Fender master builder Chris Fleming even installed the Keeley comp plus in his bass. The Keeley Compressor Plus makes your guitar sound great, without introducing noise into the signal. However the Keeley Compressor Plus works perfectly with passive basses. This could be a misconception on my part because I spent years using a Dyna Comp, which is simpler and more of a squash-style comp. I contacted Keeley and they told me that their bass compressor is built to withstand the 18v preamp of active basses. Bumping this thread to get a little help with my Comp Plus- I expected a volume decrease when increasing compression/sustain, but I get the opposite.
