The Keeley Compressor Plus Germanium marks Keeley Electronics' 25th anniversary. It keeps the controls and feel of the Compressor Plus and adds a germanium transistor, so the compression sounds warmer and smoother, with softer highs, natural sustain and bloom, and a more touch-sensitive response. It does this without the extra noise or lost headroom that often come with germanium circuits.
Controls
- Level: Makes up gain lost to compression or blend. Set it to unity, or turn it up for a boost.
- Tone: Sets the brightness of the output. Turn right for a brighter tone.
- Blend: Mixes compressed and dry signal, from fully clean on the left to fully compressed on the right.
- Comp: Raises the compression ratio and adds sustain as it turns right. High sustain settings can add noise while you are not playing.
- Voicing switch: Sets the recovery speed for single coil or humbucker pickups.
- Footswitch: Hold for 2 seconds to switch between true bypass (LED blinks twice) and buffered bypass (LED blinks three times). Ships set to buffered.
Specifications
- Power: 9 to 18 V DC, centre negative
- Current draw: 25 mA, 50 mA max when switching the relay
- Input impedance: Approximately 333 kΩ
- Output impedance: Approximately 1 kΩ
- Bypass: Selectable true bypass or buffered
- Built in: USA
