Description

The MXR Custom Comp Deluxe CSP204 is an expanded compressor pedal building on the classic MXR design with added controls including attack, EQ, and a mix knob for parallel compression. It delivers smooth, musical squash with far more tonal flexibility than a basic compressor, favored by players wanting refined, versatile compression for clean, country, and funk tones.

The TC Electronic Forcefield Compressor is a streamlined, no-frills compressor delivering warm, smooth, vintage-style compression from an analog circuit design. With true pass-through and a simple control set, it adds loads of organic, musical compression that evens out dynamics and adds sustain while keeping the tone natural. It is voiced for tasty, classic compression rather than aggressive squash, enriching all styles of playing from blues and country to rock. The simple, affordable design makes it easy to dial in and a dependable always-on tone enhancer. It suits players wanting warm, transparent analog compression for clean rhythm, country picking, and smoothing leads without complexity, offering a budget-friendly path to vintage compressor character in a compact pedal.
