COMPADRE controls dynamics with two studio-level analog compressions (smooth, high-clarity compression and vintage-style squeezing).
Next, add a clean or dirty boost with a choice of EQ shapes using the Boost switch.
Now you can create the best sound by adjusting the dynamic response of the signal sent to the amp or effector.
With pickups, tubes, condensers, and speaker cabinets, the equipment upgrades are endless.
COMPADRE may be the deciding factor for the goal you’ve been looking for.
■Easy and flexible
“COMPADRE” can deliver all the tone shaping functions necessary for the front end of the signal chain.
Since it has an auto-makeup and auto-threshold design, you can control the dynamics just by setting the COMPRESSION knob.
It also has a wide range of tone shaping functions that will easily guide you to the settings you are looking for.
■Two different analog compression circuits
Choose from two compressions with unique characters.
Studio mode: Smooth, beautiful and clear compression of vintage studio racks.
Squeeze mode: Hard, deep, sustaining compression found in classical guitar pedals.
■Clean & Dirty Boost that suppresses the sweet spot
It features two different analog boost circuits: clean and dirty boost.
At times, a dirty boost will give you the soft clipping character of a TS type overdrive pedal.
Additionally, three boost EQs can be switched to match your guitar and amp combination.
■Extended control
Connect an expression pedal to control VCA volume.
Strymon MiniSwitch Plus allows you to save and recall your favorite settings.
You can also integrate it into your MIDI pedalboard with the Strymon MIDI EXP cable.
