Equipped with true analog compression and a versatile boost too, the Strymon Compadre compressor/boost pedal could be the key to your ideal guitar tone. To control your guitar’s dynamics, you have your choice of studio quality transparent compression or sustaining, vintage-style compression. The boost section offers a huge range of tones to explore, offering Clean and Dirty boost modes plus three selectable EQ curves to fine-tune your sound. You can maintain your guitar’s attack with heavy compression by dialing some of your dry guitar tone back in. Whether you need to add some fatness to your tone, focus your mids, or balance out your chicken pickin’, your expectations will be exceeded with the Strymon Compadre compressor/boost pedal.

Whether you normally play straight into your amplifier, or you shape your sound with a pedalboard on the way in, giving your guitar signal a boost (whether with a pedal or dialing up your volume control) can be the perfect way to add that extra sparkle and intensity. You’ll love that the Compadre offers an independent boost section, and even more so because it offers three EQ curves to suit a variety of styles. Choose Flat for a transparent, full-frequency boost. Or use it as a treble boost to add grit and sparkle without getting muddy. Or select Mid for a punchy midrange boost that will secure your guitar’s spot in the mix.
