One of the first pedals I ever bought was a Keeley Compressor, back in 2003 or so, and I’ve had some version of that pedal in the office since. It’s become the standard by which other compressors are measured, producing tens of thousands of units over the course of the last 20 years. Keeley‘s latest version takes everything we love about this classic sound and smashes it into a small, super pedalboard-friendly enclosure, without losing any tone or presence – this is the Compressor Mini.
The Compressor Mini is designed to make the magic of compression simple and easy to use. Featuring Manhattan-style compression, the Compressor Mini intuitively and automatically delivers the perfect blend of dynamic and compressed guitar signal, retaining all of the subtlety and dynamics in your playing, making it effortless to play and sound your best. An all-new transient release time is set to make both single coils or humbuckers sound lively and expressive. The new automatic tone recovery circuit ensures crystal clear highs, even with high compression settings. The Compressor Mini’s pre-amp tone is legendary; pushing both pedals and amplifiers to their greatest potential. With any style of guitar, playing live or at the recording desk, the Compressor Mini is your secret weapon.
Features here include:
– An increased sustain range for even more subtle compression
– Auto-blend to enhance clarity and note definition
– A new transient release time that makes hum-buckers sing and single coils pop
– Automatic tone recovery, a treble clarifier for high compression settings
– A built-in pre-amp for incredible guitar tone and True Bypass
– 9 volt, 10mA current draw, designed and built in the USA
So stoked as always to check out yet another Keeley Electronics masterpiece, I love the simplicity and tiny size of this Compressor Mini. The range of tones is still extremely present, and with just the Level and Comp control knobs, a great sound is easy to dial up in literally a minute. I can’t thanks Robert, Robby and the entire Keeley Electronics crew for all of their support over the last 8 years – they’re one of the absolute best in the business, and the Compressor Mini continues to showcase their dominance in the effects pedal world, regardless of size.
