Compadre - Dual Voice Compressor & Boost
The Strymon Compadre is a true game-changer for guitarists seeking the ultimate in front-end tone shaping. This dual-voice compressor and boost pedal delivers studio-quality analog compression with unparalleled transparency and vintage-inspired "squeeze." The two distinct compression circuits give you a world of tonal possibilities. The smooth, transparent "Studio" mode emulates the best vintage rack units, while the "Squeeze" setting dials in a classic, sustain-rich compression that's perfect for lead work. Seamless auto makeup gain and threshold adjustments mean you can simply dial in the desired amount of compression and let the Compadre do the rest. But the Compadre isn't just a world-class compressor - it also packs two versatile boost circuits. The clean boost adds the perfect amount of sparkle and presence, while the soft-clipping "Dirty" boost introduces a touch of pleasing overdrive. Selectable EQ curves let you tailor the boost to your rig, whether you need a treble boost, midrange punch, or a flat, full-range lift. Guitarists in the know, like John Mayer and Nile Rodgers, have trusted the Compadre to anchor their tones. Its dynamic, responsive nature means it works beautifully with any amp and guitar, elevating your signal chain from the very first pedal. If you want to start your journey to the ultimate guitar tone, the Strymon Compadre is an essential destination.
