KEELEY 4 KNOB COMPRESSOR
The already best compressor just got better! Now available in a 4 knob
version. Still the same award winning tone, only with added Attack and
Trim knobs on the front panel for even greater control. The Keeley
Compressor is the standard for guitar compression! It won the Editor's
Pick Award from Guitar Player Magazine and, most recently, the Reader's
Choice Award for Stomp Box. An internal attack control to make it
suitable for high-output active basses. Features metal film resistors
and capacitors, true bypass, and matched transistors matched for gain
within 1%.
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.
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 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
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.
Tone-Tested Components
The
Keeley compressor effect has nothing but tone-tested components and has
true bypass switching. Effect switching incorporates a triple
pole-double throw switch. You will have clean unaffected sound when in
the bypass mode, with an LED for effect indication. Metal film resistors
and capacitors ensure the cleanest compressor on the market. Hand
matched transistors to less than 1% tolerance ensure you get a perfectly
compressed signal, no chance for unwanted distortions. For those
wanting a better tone than that of Trey Anastasio from Phish or David
Gilmore of Pink Floyd or the Edge of U2 this is it.
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. Keeley's
compressors are completely hand built and tested to ensure that there
are no failures. The guitar pedal is "semi-abused" to make sure there is
nothing but bliss when you install your new compressor. Since each
compressor pedal is hand made there might be small differences as
improvements are made. Every attempt is made to make sure your Keeley
pedal looks perfect and sounds better than you imagined.
Who Uses the Keeley Compressor?
Well, at LEAST 6 of the CMT Top 10
songs had the Keeley compressor on it this week! Yeah, it IS THE
STANDARD for guitar compression. The best guitar compressor ever made.
