Keeley Compressor Plus Germanium Pedal

Product Description

The Keeley Compressor Plus Germanium celebrates 25 years of Keeley Electronics with a new take on one of the company’s most enduring pedal designs. Building on the familiar Compressor Plus platform, this anniversary model introduces a Japanese-style germanium transistor into both the audio output section and compressor side-chain feedback circuit for a distinctive new response.

The familiar Level, Compression, Tone and Blend controls make it easy to shape everything from subtle dynamic control to more pronounced compression and sustain. Keeley’s signature Blend control mixes the dry and compressed signals, helping retain natural attack, clarity and playing feel while adding compression.

True or buffered bypass can be selected on the fly for flexible pedalboard integration. With 9–18V DC operation and a low 25mA current draw, the Compressor Plus Germanium combines Keeley’s compressor heritage with a revised circuit designed and built in Oklahoma, USA.
