![]() ![]() But here, you can add a bit of high-frequency shimmer to restore lost presence. When note attacks are flattened, tones can seem darker. The new tone control addresses another common compressor issue. With a wet/dry blend, you can have strong note attack But with a wet/dry blend, you can have strong note attack and increased sustain. Players who use compression rely on the effect’s ability to even out note attacks and increase sustain, but there’s a downside: Note and chord attacks lose impact, and dynamic nuances can vanish. The Compressor Plus remains a simple ’70s-style stompbox squeezer at heart. I’ve got schematics for the Ross and MXR right here, and the “two” circuits are very similar.) Both pedals had just two knobs (compression amount and volume), where many full-featured studio compressors enabled control of compression ratio, attack and release times, and more. ![]() Like most of Keeley’s compressors, the Plus is based on the 1970s Ross Compressor, which was itself a near-clone of the earlier MXR Dyna-Comp. It runs on standard 9V power, and there’s a battery compartment. ![]() The latest iteration of Keeley’s squeezebox is the Compressor Plus, which replicates the tones of earlier Keeley models while adding several meaningful new features: a blend control, a post-compression tone circuit, and a single-coil/humbucker toggle. ![]() Oklahoma’s Robert Keeley Electronics has actually sold nearly 50,000 U.S.-made compressor pedals-a remarkable figure for an indie builder. But the digits don’t represent some cryptic in-house code. The serial number on the back of our review model Compressor Plus is 47061. ![]()
