Strymon Compadre Dual Voice Compressor & Boost

 

Equipped with true analog compression and a versatile boost, the Strymon Compadre compressor/boost pedal could be the key to your ideal guitar tone. To control your guitar's dynamics, you have your choice of studio-quality transparent compression or sustaining, vintage-style compression. The boost section offers a huge range of tones to explore, offering Clean and Dirty boost modes plus three selectable EQ curves to fine-tune your sound. You can maintain your guitar's attack with heavy compression by dialing some of your dry guitar tone back in. Whether you need to add some fatness to your tone, focus your mids, or balance out your chicken pickin', your expectations will be exceeded with the Strymon Compadre compressor/boost pedal.

If you're still searching for your dream guitar tone, then you may be surprised how close you already are when you add some compression and boost to your signal. Compression is a great way to add fullness and balance to your guitar's tone while tailoring how your dynamic range interacts with your pedals and amplifier. Whether you play country, jazz, metal, fusion, or anything else, the Strymon Compadre will help you see your guitar rig in a whole new light.

Two premium compression circuits for versatile dynamics control

The Strymon name goes hand-in-hand with sonic dexterity, so it's no surprise that the Compadre pedal packs two distinct compression modes. Studio mode is designed to be smooth and transparent, controlling dynamics in the manner of classic rackmount compressors. Squeeze mode conjures heavier compression with lots of sustain, squeezing every ounce of sonic excellence from your core guitar tone.

Whether you normally play straight into your amplifier, or you shape your sound with a pedalboard on the way in, giving your guitar signal a boost (whether with a pedal or dialing up your volume control) can be the perfect way to add that extra sparkle and intensity. Guitarists at Palen love that the Compadre offers an independent boost section — even more so because it offers three EQ curves to suit a variety of styles. Choose Flat for a transparent, full-frequency boost. Or use it as a treble boost to add grit and sparkle without getting muddy. Or select Mid for a punchy midrange boost that will secure your guitar's spot in the mix.

Larger and roomier, adore the fiery orange color
Schutz quality is top notch. I found this style to be larger & roomier than I'm use to. Easily dealt with for me with shoe pad inserts and making smaller holes in the band. I adore the color, I've wanted this exact shade of fiery orange forever. It's a gorgeous brilliant orange, with red shadows and golden highlights. I'm so excited to have finally found this color, and Schutz are always comfortable, sturdy, beautiful, and made well.

Buy this shoe NOW!
This is a beautiful shoe!!! My absolute favorite and go to shoe right now. I originally bought the light nude color and it wasn't dark enough for my tan skin and wasn't really "nude" for me. I'm latin and I would say I'm a medium tan color. So I repurchased the neutral color and it was perfect. I thought it might be a pinch too gray but it looks like a nice neutral nude on me and I'm in love! I also have bought in black and pink. I have worn this shoe all night with lots of standing and I have to say that this shoe is quite comfortable. I recommend inserting a small foot petal at the ball of the foot to avoid toe overhang and bunched toes. But overall this shoe is amazing! Also this shoe runs a half size small. I'm normally always 8.5 and had to reorder a 9.
