Ego Compressor
The Wampler Ego Compressor is a versatile guitar pedal designed to enhance playing dynamics by controlling the level of your guitar signal. With its clean blend feature, it allows you to retain your original tone while adding compression for increased sustain and control. Guitarists can achieve everything from subtle smoothing to extreme compression with minimal noise, making it an essential tool for both studio and live performances. This pedal is highly regarded for its ability to work as an "always on" effect, delivering a musical and natural feel.
What Wampler Pedals say about the Ego Compressor
What does a compressor do? A compressor adds an element of control to your playing level – it will bring the quieter parts up and the louder parts down. While an ordinary compressor pedal can give you an element of control, a great compressor will give you the “feel” that other average compressors lack. If you’ve played a great tube amp when it’s being pushed hard, you’ll know what a great natural compression feels like.
When we designed this pedal, the focus was ensuring the playing dynamics could be retained and that the compressor didn’t color the tone at all. By incorporating a clean blend, it allows your original signal to be blended back in so you can get all the benefits of a great compressor (picking up the notes that aren’t as strong and increasing sustain) but have the option to remove the squash at the front. With this control, you can have full country squash or open studio level parallel compression.
So, with a comprehensive array of controls and a core tone that is pure, you won’t find a compressor that works as perfectly as an “always on” or as “an effect” and is more highly regarded than the Ego Compressor from Wampler Pedals.
