This pedal will not work with a 9V battery, and requires a 9V DC power supply (not included).

Compressor may not be the most obvious effect in the world, but the difference it can make to your tone when used correctly will surprise you! It is the silent wonder of the guitar world, which is why Tone City have designed their very own stompbox, the Comp Engine.

Squeeze Your Tone

There are two very common ways to use a compressor. One method is by turning the threshold (comp control) up high, delivering a very squashed sound that brings out the attack in your notes and smooths the level out. That is perfect for blues, jazz and funk in particular, where that consistency is vital when playing chords or lead lines.

The other way that you can use a compressor is by running it into a slightly distorted rig. With just a small amount of compression and a lot of volume, this method provides incredible sustain. Ever wondered how some guitarists get their notes to ring out for so long at the end of a solo? It was most likely by employing a compressor in this way.

The Comp Engine, with its 3 essential controls, can let you run your compression exactly the way you want – perfect for either method described above.

Small & Portable

All Tone City pedals are built in a micro pedal format, which not only helps to save precious real-estate on your pedalboard, but also keeps your bank balance healthy thanks to their amazingly low price. But don’t worry, you don’t lose any quality when going down to this small size or cost.

The controls all use high-quality components, and with true bypass switching, your signal will stay as clean and pure as possible.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

City. Comp. 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.. Engine. 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..
