With the quick release of the new Compressor Plus, your humbuckers remain true sounding, and each note retains dynamic attack and definition. When this happens, any series of notes you play will sound dull. Humbuckers have more average energy than single coils which can cause compressors to stay in “compression mode” for a lot longer. The new Release Switch on the Keeley Compressor Plus is designed to make it very easy to transition between single coil and humbucker guitars. 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 a compressor with an expander/sustainer.

If this is what you hope to get out of a compressor, then this is precisely the pedal to add to your chain. There are many scenarios where this could be quite useful and translate well on stage. The Compressor Plus gives your sound more edge, more focus on the mids, and more “electrified” sound. For those that want to use compression as an effect itself, this pedal is one to check out. Even at its lowest compression setting, the Compressor Plus gives you that squished mid-range-heavy sound that certain levels of compression create. This is in part due to the ratio of compression (the lower the better for this purpose).

It does not reproduce a super clean and crisp version of your tone, rather it inflects your sound with its own personality. Unlike its brother, The GC-2, the Compressor Plus has its own sound.

With more settings to tweak and a more user friendly interface, this pedal gives its intended audience (guitar players) a magnificent a terrific solution for compression.
