Case Study Effects Studio Compressor

The Aspen Overdrive from Case Study Effects is one of the better drives that has come through the shop recently, and I couldn’t wait to check out some more gear coming out of Lake Country, Wisconsin. Today, we’re looking at their Studio Compressor, which is exactly what it sounds like it would be, but is also somehow MORE than you’d expect. With a bunch of knobs and a surprise toggle switch, you get true studio tonality that travels and plays well with the rest of your rig…easily.

The Case Study Studio Compressor provides uncompromising dynamic control like a high end rack compressor. Get precise control over your tone with the Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Gain knobs, allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of compression. The Studio Compressor leverages a unique circuit design that draws on the design of classic compressor pedals, but solves the issues of excessive noise and lack of controls. The Bright Switch is a hidden gem for adding clarity and brilliance to your tone, instantly making your guitar stand out in any mix.

Don’t forget about the secret drive mode, which transforms the pedal into a beefy distortion. For maximum distortion, just turn the Ratio all the way down and set the Threshold to its highest level (check out our demo below to hear it in action). The Studio Compressor is another gem from Case Study Effect, with a brilliant sound and clean, crisp aesthetics, making your sound and your board the best they can be.
