The Keeley Compressor is the award winning industry standard for stomp box compression. The 4 Knob adds Input Clipping and Attack controls to the top of the original Keeley compressor for easy adjustment. Perfect for those that often switch live between single coils and humbuckers. The sound alone will inspire your creativity.

Keeley's most popular pedal, the Keeley compressor has become an industry standard for stomp box compression. The sound will inspire, and your music will flow freely-just plug the compressor pedal in and let your head, heart, and fingers fly. The sound quality of the Keeley compressor is rarely heard in the stompbox arena and is only seen in very expensive rackmount or tube equipment. It is a true audiophile and studio-grade compressor, with exotic rackmount-quality in a stomp box. The Keeley compressor pedal ships with the 9V DC jack at the top end of the guitar pedal and use the same type of power supply used by nearly all guitar effect manufacturers.

All Keeley Compressors are hand built in the USA. Unlike any other compressor, the Keeley Compressor was given the Editor's Pick Award from Guitar Player's Magazine and recently awarded Reader's Choice for Stomp Box.

Internal Attack Control

The compressor pedal has an Internal Attack control, designed for bass players with high-output active pickups or active pedal boards with buffers.

Sensitivity Control

The Keeley compressor pedal also has an Input Sensitivity Control, meaning you can use this read more in your studio to run keyboards, drum machines, drum mics, even master recordings and other line-level uses. You'll raise your signal to a new level of sonic awesomeness.

True bypass switching circuit

True bypass means that when the effect is off your guitar tone will not be affected at all. The true bypass circuit makes sure you have absolutely no tone loss or signal reduction through the compressor pedal in the off/bypass mode.

Triple-pole double-throw switch

This switch makes sure you have absolutely no tone loss or signal reduction through the Keeley 4-knob compressor even in the off mode. Other compressors use a cheap switch and design that runs down your signal even when off or if the battery goes weak.

The Sustain Control

The 9 O'clock position should be barely noticeable. It will just take out really loud sudden peaks, this is great for protecting your speakers and the like. The 12 O'clock position provides the right presence for using the Keeley compressor pedal continuously while performing. The 3 O'clock position is great for solos. It really adds some cool effects to your playing dynamics. Only when really cranked do you get the pluck sound of your pick emphasized.

Power supply

The DC jack is the standard type fitting just about every power supply out there. The Voodoo Labs Pedal Power, MXR DC Brick, Boss, Ibanez, etc. power supplies work perfectly with the compressor

Ive had other compressors. Most were noisy and less effective, less musical. This compressor is not noisy and sounds great. There is a noticeable difference with it on/off. 4 knobs, doesn't take too long to figure out what they do, but if your a simpleton Keeley also offers the 2 knob. I love the squished sound on my clean channel. The attack knob works wonders on anything overdriven. My tone was pretty sick already, (PWE EH3 into a Blackstar Celestion loaded 4x12, and a couple Custom Kiesels), and its even nastier now. Its solidly built and should last a lifetime. You could spend less but you will get less. If your on the fence, just pull the trigger. Not much too much to lose as Zzounds has an excellent return policy. But you wont return it, it enhances your tone too much. Great product.
