    What does a compressor pedal do?

    Compression pedals give you volume control. A compression pedal turns down the volume of your guitar when the signal becomes louder than the set max level. It will turn up the volume of your guitar when the signal drops below your set level.

    Where should I place my compressor pedal?

    Compression is a volume control pedal that typically goes at the beginning of your chain with your filters, delays, and pitch shifters. Gain based pedals (overdrive/distortion) go next.

    Can you use a compressor pedal with distortion?

    Yes, you can use a compressor pedal with distortion! If you put your compressor before the distortion you will notice a bigger difference in your tone.

    What should I look for in a compression pedal?

    It all depends upon the player. Some players prefer simplicity while some players prefer more control over the compressor parameters. If you are unsure what you need in a compressor we would love to help you find the right one!
