Acoustic Strymon Compadre Dual Voice Compressor

Acoustic · pedal

The Strymon Compadre is a dual-voice studio-quality analog compressor and boost pedal. Studio mode delivers smooth, transparent compression modeled after vintage rack units, while Squeeze mode applies heavy compression with maximum sustain suited to country chicken picking and percussive playing styles. Two analog boost circuits, a clean boost and a dirty soft-clipping boost, are included alongside the compressor. TRS MIDI enables external control of settings. Used by guitarists across country, blues, funk, and studio recording contexts where transparent dynamics control is needed.
