Brand new from Keeley! We love it- it adds a nice warmth and builds and the most obvious and solid choice of compressors. Even if you have a wealth of compressors like some of our staff this is welcome addition and a powerful tool to have in the box!
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Keeley Electronics is proud to introduce the Compressor Plus Germanium.
The Compressor Plus Germanium uses a germanium transistor as a buffer and tone-shaping stage, not an amplifier, and that’s an important distinction. The goal isn’t to turn the Compressor into a fuzz or overdrive. Instead, germanium is used where it can do something uniquely musical: soften the edge of high frequencies and distorted signals, sustain and bloom more naturally for even more touch-sensitive and dynamic response, and saturate in a way that’s more pleasing and less harsh. All of this comes without the added noise or loss of headroom associated with germanium equipped circuits. Now add Keeley’s super silent switching buffer, selectable true bypass or buffered operation, 9-18V compatibility, ultra-low current draw, all housed in a proprietary battle tested enclosure.
How do you make the Keeley Compressor better without losing anything about what guitarists fell in love with in the first place? That’s not an easy question & it’s a big legacy to look after. 25 years later, with more than 160,000 compressors sold worldwide we think you will agree, the Compressor Plus Germanium is the best compressor Keeley’s made yet.
