Keeley Electronics Compressor Plus Germanium Compression Effect Pedal

In classic Keeley fashion, we're treated to the sweet, sweet, musically compressed tones of the Keeley Electronics Compressor Plus Germanium. A standby effect for Keeley, the Compressor Plus Germanium outfits the brand's classic, cool, clean compression effect experience with an added element of harmonic depth with a germanium transistor. This compressor, outfitted in commemoration of Keeley's twenty-fifth anniversary, follows in a long line of Keeley compressors sure to stand out onstage.

The Compressor Plus Germanium is a model sure to impress the avid compression fans of the world – and certainly the Keeley compression fans, that's for sure. This germanium-equipped compressor does not replace any other compressor in the Keeley line. Rather, it offers a new musical route in the series with a germanium transistor on top of the airtight Keeley compression experience. This germanium transistor serves as a buffer and a tone-shaping stage – not as an amplifier. What results here is a germanium component that allows for smoothing of high frequencies or distorted signals to make for a more touch-sensitive and dynamic effect. Keeley's standby single-coil/humbucker switch makes an appearance with this effect for absolute optimization when playing with any guitar.

Keeley's clean design ethos keeps its germanium transistor quiet with no added noise or loss of headroom. Everything that makes Keeleys such no-brainer picks like 9-18V compatibility, true or buffered bypass footswitching, and a compact enclosure, appear across the Compressor Plus Germanium to make the deal all the sweeter.

A match made in heaven, iconic Keeley compression reaches new highs with a dash of germanium spice.
