A couple weeks ago, I looked at my first pedal from AKLOT, simply called Reverb. It’s a simple but wide-ranging effect, part of the NEON Guitar Pedal series, an affordable line of pedals for players of all skill levels. Today, it’s time for AKLOT Round Two, as we check out their also-simply named Compressor, which brings a new piece of tone-shaping gear into the mix. Let’s dive in and see what this bright green beauty can do, shall we?
The AKLOT Compressor is a transparent dynamic enhancer that smoothes out your rhythm playing and tightens up your clean tones, or you can increase the sustain for rich, even compression that helps lead lines sing with clarity and control. This pedal is perfect for blues, country, funk, and pop guitarists who want consistent tone, added sustain, and polished dynamics without sacrificing natural feel. It’s ideal for expressive players who want consistent volume, improved clarity, and smooth sustain while still shaping dynamics with picking strength and guitar volume control.

Three controls here make up a wide range of sounds to experiment with. The Sustain slider controls the intensity or amount of signal prolongation, moving from subtle to natural to near-infinite sustain. Attack controls the response speed and processing intensity of the compression, moving from a sharp attack to a smoother, more fluid overall tone. Finally, the Level knob controls the overall output volume, to match perfectly with your clean tone, or to boost the volume for solos.
This Compressor will easily increase the sustain for rich, even compression that helps lead lines sing with clarity and control – it just might be the secret tonal weapon you’ve been searching for. Stoked to bring you another effect from AKLOT – looking forward to checking out some more gear from these guys, so be sure to stay tuned!
