Compressor & EQ Pedals
Compressor and EQ pedals are essential tools for shaping your tone, controlling dynamics, and bringing clarity to your playing. Whether you want tighter clean tones, more sustain, a punchier rhythm sound, or a precise frequency balance, these pedals help your guitar sit perfectly in any mix—live or in the studio.
What Compressor Pedals Do
Compressors even out the volume of your playing by smoothing peaks and boosting quiet notes. The result is a polished, professional sound.
- Sustain: Keep notes ringing longer without extra gain.
- Leveling: Smooth out inconsistent picking or strumming.
- Attack control: Tighten your tone for funk, country, worship, or clean rhythm.
- Studio clarity: Add subtle polish or dramatic squish.
What EQ Pedals Do
EQ pedals give you precise control over your tone, letting you boost or cut specific frequency ranges to match your guitar, amp, room, or style.
- Mid shaping: Scoop for metal, push for solos, or fine-tune your presence.
- Clean boosts: Use EQ curves to add volume or character.
- Fix problem frequencies: Tame harsh highs or muddy lows.
- Stacking magic: Shape your drives for better pedal interaction.
Why Use a Compressor or EQ?
- Consistency: More even performance across your entire set.
- Versatility: Works with any genre—country, worship, funk, blues, pop, rock, metal.
- Control: Manage your tone on any stage or in any mix.
- Foundation: Both pedals improve the sound of everything else in your chain.
