The Animals Pedal 1927 Home Run King Comp is a renowned compressor that delivers a natural sound and is incredibly easy to operate. It features a real-time LED display, showing dynamic compression action. The latest edition boasts a larger housing and enhanced artwork, making it not only a functional tool but also a visually striking addition to your gear.

This “natural” compressor is ideal for modern players who seek ease of use without compromising on performance. For many guitarists, compressors can feel complicated and challenging to understand. Unlike more “flashy” effects, the impact of a compressor is subtle—it limits peaks and amplifies quieter passages, often making it harder to perceive compared to other effects. However, for guitarists who love clean tones and effortless sustain, a compressor is an essential tool.

The 1927 HRKC (Home Run King Comp) is the compressor you’ve been waiting for, offering clear, natural compression that is easy to understand and integrate into your setup.

About Compression: A compressor enhances and limits the levels of a signal, effectively shaping the tone’s density. Similar to overdrive, it works without distorting the signal, functioning as an “overdrive with no overdrive.” The result is longer sustain, a more prominent signal in the mix, and a smoother playing experience. This allows for beautiful clean passages with the same ease of playability and dynamic range as heavier, distorted tones.

Key Features

  • Active LED Indicator: The LED not only shows when the effect is active but also blinks dynamically, visualizing the compressor’s action on the signal in real-time.
  • Natural Sounding Tone: The compressor’s tone is natural and clear, and the EQ knob lets you shape your sound. Boost the highs to bring your guitar forward in the mix, or darken your tone for brighter instruments or amps.
  • Low Noise Performance: Achieves studio-grade low noise, using high-quality components that deliver a sound akin to a premium studio compressor.
  • Simplicity: Three easy-to-use controls and a true bypass foot switch make the 1927 HRKC intuitive to operate.
  • Power Supply: Powered by a 9V battery or a standard center-negative DC9V adapter.

Controls

  • Vol. – Adjusts the overall volume.
  • COMP – Controls the strength of the compression.
  • EQ – Shapes the tone, allowing for a wide range of tonal possibilities.

Think about the ballpark.
When the baseball field was still called a ballpark,
Two superstar bears co-starred in their dreams.
The parabola they drew with their dreams on it was high and stretchy in the night sky.
It sucks in. Like this comp.

Comp

Comp is short for compressor, an effect used to control the dynamic range of a signal by reducing the difference between loud and quiet sounds. It smooths out peaks, adds sustain, and can make notes feel more even and controlled.

Compression is commonly used on guitar, bass, and vocals to improve clarity and consistency. Depending on the settings, a comp can be subtle and transparent or more noticeable, adding punch, sustain, and character to both clean and driven tones.

Compressor

A compressor evens out the dynamics of a guitar signal by reducing the difference between loud and quiet notes. It adds sustain, tightens the overall sound, and can enhance clarity and consistency, making it especially useful for clean playing, funk rhythms, and smooth lead tones.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
