DESCRIPTION

Compadre is your front-end tone sculptor, combining studio-quality analog compression with rich, musically voiced boost circuits to bring out the best in your guitar and amp. Choose between two compression modes—Studio for smooth transparency or Squeeze for vintage-style sustain—and dial in clean or soft-clipped dirty boost with a selectable EQ curve to match any rig. Blend in dry signal for clarity and let auto makeup gain and threshold simplify your compression control, all while preserving your instrument’s natural attack.

Built around a Class A JFET input and inspired by iconic analog gear, Compadre is designed to enhance your tone without getting in your way. Whether you're chasing subtle dynamics or bold punch, this pedal delivers boutique-style character, extended control options (MIDI, expression pedal, MiniSwitch compatibility), and a seamless playing experience that elevates your entire signal chain.
