Wampler Ego Compressor Pedal

For guitarists in search of a natural-sounding compressor pedal, the Wampler Ego thickens your tone while maintaining the qualities of the original signal.

Does your tone need an ego boost? Thicken your signal and tighten up your sound by adding the Wampler Ego compressor pedal to your signal chain. With blend, attack, volume, tone and sustain controls, this unstoppable stompbox features hand-made high-grade film capacitors and resistors to keep your sound clear and pristine with every note. The blend feature allows you to mix your compressed tone with your "dry" uncompressed signal -- also known as parallel compression -- helping preserve the attack and punch of your playing, while simultaneously lengthening sustain. It's got a true bypass -- but this is one pedal you might just want to keep turned on all the time.

Five Ways to Hone Your Tone

The Wampler Ego compressor pedal can manipulate your signal in a number of useful ways. Your attack control dials in how quickly your compression settings engage, your volume control acts as a "makeup gain" to bring in the decibels, your tone control lets you bring back the high-end frequencies you might miss as compression thickens your signal, and your sustain knob controls the length and strength of the compression.

True Bypass for Signal Integrirty

You won't have to worry about your tone losing any of its original color or contour, because the Wampler Ego compressor pedal features true bypass. This means that even with this baby turned off, you're getting everything your amp dishes out without any of that original tonal goodness missing.

Sweet Blend Feature for Transparent Leveling

read more The sweetest feature on this baby is its blend control. This control gives the freedom to determine just how much of your compressed tone gets mixed in with the unaffected one. You won't find this extra control on a lot of compression pedals. Like the parallel compression circuit found in some studio compressors, the blend knob lets you find a sweet spot where you're bringing up the quietest parts of your signal without affecting the loudest parts of your signal. Of course, you can also crank the Blend up all the way and compress your entire signal -- the Ego is versatile like that!

Hand-made Design

Good tones come from solid components. The Wampler Ego compression pedal is hand-made and built with top-notch film capacitors and resistors, assuring you that your axe's signal gets nothing but the best treatment. A sleek powder-coated durable finish tops things off nicely in eye-catching fashion.

Wampler Ego Compressor Pedal

This compressor pedal from Wampler adds an element of control to your playing. It brings the quieter parts up and tightens the louder parts. A good tube amp when driven will add a bit of natural compression, but using a pedal like the Wampler Ego adds a depth of possibilites not found on your typical amp. Unlike many budget compressors where you get the squash and squeeze of a driven amp, but lose all your dynamics, the Ego was designed with sustain, attack, and tone knobs. This allows you the ability to dial in the exact sound you need.

Blend Control

Easily transition between a fully effected sound and a clean signal with the sweep of the blend knob. Find the point in that sweep that allows you all the compression you need to even out your playing and increase your sustain without any detraction from you playing attack and feel. When this pedal is used as an effect rather than set to always on, it lets you control your solos and fatten up your rhythms. A little extra bit of sparkle allows your guitar to sit in a place in the band just a little higher, and a little sweeter in the mix.

this pedal makes you wonder why you ever bought anything else. if i was to describe what it does, it makes everything sound better. period. i will assume it was returned or set aside because the LED works intermittently. doesn't matter to me, because it's always on in my chain. always.
