Compressor Plus 4-Knob Compressor Pedal Review

Unification

I've got a song writing studio where I play drums, bass, keyboard, guitar and sing. Guitar has alway been difficult for me. I love my little guitar collection which includes a Telecaster, Stratocaster, and a more modern Yamaha RGXA2 with humbuckers. The thing I love about the Keeley Compressor Plus is that it quickly and easily tames all these different guitar types down to there… read more best sound. I never get lost on what my best setup is when I'm switching back and forth between guitar types. Now I love my little guitar collection more than ever. I just Ordered the Keeley Super Phat Mod Overdrive from Sweetwater today. These Kelley pedals are made in the USA and they are worth any price bump you feel you might be paying. Cheers, Jeffrey

From Noisy to Silent

Like some other users of the Keeley comp, I experienced very audible noise when the pedal was on. And sometimes it was a soft, high frequency warbling sound, like a siren. Totally unacceptable. I first thought I had a defective pedal. I was powering it with a dedicated power supply, and so assumed the noise was coming from other pedals or the Compressor itself. But I decided to… read more start isolating it from my other effects in order to see if it indeed was amplifying noise from another source. I eventually had it disconnected from every patch - just guitar to Keeley to amp - but still no improvement. So I swapped guitar cords, and some of the background noise was eliminated, but not all of it, and not any of the warbling sound. As a last resort, I disconnected the dedicated power supply, and connected it to the daisy-chained power supply powering my noise gate pedal, reverb pedal and two gain pedals...and it went totally silent! I connected everything back to normal routing, and the silence remained. I then used the "noisy" dedicated power supply on a JHS Mini A/B switching pedal, but nothing else. And all was quiet. I have no noise at all from the Keeley unless my amp is cranked. So it was the dedicated power supply that was causing the noise in the Compressor. Hope this helps others who might be trying to solve similar noise issues.

Keeley Comp Plus

Great pedal! Exceeded expectations and didn't even have the slightest bit of buyers remorse. This pedal makes my strat feel fatter with more of a bite and notable sustain. Haven't tried with humbuckers yet but the toggle switch is a great option to have. works great with other pedals, and really pushes Overdrive/Distortion/fuzz. Definitely an always on pedal for me. Would highly… read more recommend this great looking and well built Comp box by Keeley!

Keeley Compressor Plus

Rest assured, Keeley products deliver. What I really like, besides the SQUASH lol, is the Blend knob allowing you to maintain YOUR tone and blend in just the right amount of Compression.
