How to Use a Compressor Pedal

Compressor pedals for guitar can be a little bit confusing. The effect they have on your guitar tone isn’t always as apparent as a distortion or delay pedal. So what does a compressor pedal do? What does a compressor pedal sound like? Why would you even want to use a compressor pedal? Today we’re going to be using the Wampler Mini Ego compressor pedal to answer these questions. We’re going to turn some knobs, show a few examples of how one might be used, and have a good time sharing ideas and opinions in the comment section!

Wow, thank you! Do you have one or looking to get one?

@@DadRockAndGuitars yes I have one, one of my favorite pedals. I play mostly hard rock and metal and it helps with my deficiencies plus I love the tone. Great must have pedal.
