Wampler Ego Compressor Pedal

The Wampler Ego Compressor is a studio-quality compression pedal designed to deliver control, sustain, and feel—without sacrificing your natural tone or playing dynamics. Unlike average compressors that can feel squashed or lifeless, the Ego is voiced to emulate the organic, musical compression of a great tube amp being pushed, giving your playing depth, polish, and consistency.

A key feature of the Ego Compressor is its clean blend control, allowing you to mix your uncompressed signal back in. This gives you all the benefits of compression—enhanced sustain, improved note clarity, and balanced dynamics—while retaining attack and feel. From classic country squash to subtle, open parallel compression for studio-style tones, the Ego adapts effortlessly.

Highly regarded as both an “always-on” tone enhancer and a creative effect, the Ego Compressor works across genres well beyond country, adding fatness, control, and refinement to any rig. Built with premium components and Wampler’s obsessive attention to detail, it’s designed to earn a permanent place on your pedalboard.
