Wampler Ego Compressor V2
Compression Effects
The Ego Compressor is everything a great compressor should be: flexible and transparent while keeping your tone intact. It will give you that element of squash and squeeze of a driven amp, but can control the effect so your playing can shine through with that great feel. It can also be used as 'an effect' rather than keeping the pedal constantly on, which will fatten up your rhythms and bring some control to your solos. That little bit of extra sparkle will sit your guitar comfortably in a mix.
- High grade components picked for their superior sound and response
- Completely true bypass (soft relay switching)
- Hand built in the U.S.A.

SustainSustain controls how hard the Ego Compressor works to maintain the signal within its compression threshold. Higher sustain settings will let your notes go on for a very long time, but be careful, because higher sustain settings also raise the noise fl oor. If you are running your compressor after overdrive or distortion, you will want to pay close attention to the Sustain knob and maybe back off of it quite a bit so as not to raise the amount of noise to unbearable levels. |
ToneNot content to merely have a great sounding compressor, Brian has created what we feel is a virtually ideal Tone knob for use with compressors. At fully counter-clockwise, it doesn't have any impact on the signal at all. As you raise it clockwise, it adds extra sparkle and presence to the sound, and with the right gear it can be very 'jangly,' a characteristic that a lot of players in Nashville especially look for. If you're wanting a little more presence in your signal, the Tone knob will let you dial it in quite precisely! |
BlendHaving established that the Ego Compressor has everything you need to dial in a fantastic sounding compressed signal, now it's time to learn about the Blend functionality. At about noon on the Blend knob, the compressed signal and the (enhanced, boosted, and slightly warmed) clean signal are even in level. Because the signals are in parallel inside the pedal before mixing down to mono at the output, the Blend control acts as a mixer knob. |
AttackAttack controls how quickly the compression action starts to take e ffect. At slower attack settings, it will more gradually begin to compress the signal, which can leave your early note less a ffected. With quicker attack settings, it gets a noticeable pop-in, because it clamps down on the high signal level of the initial note and then quickly raises the output level after that to begin its compression action. This is integral to the classic country chickin' pickin' sound. Dialing this control in is all about feel, and where your ideal setting ends up will be entirely based on what you need the compressor to do for your sound. |

Great Little Pedal
I needed a compressor pedal with a small footprint for my pedalboard and this fit the bill perfectly. It's almost always on.
