Orange King Comp - Class A VCA compressor pedal

The King Comp is a super low-noise Class A VCA compressor pedal that offers smooth, musical compression with real character. It’s designed to bring out the best in your playing by adding sustain, snap, and sparkle while preserving your dynamics and feel. The versatile attack control lets you dial in anything from subtle tightening to a pronounced pogoing bounce, while the equally adaptable release control gives long-lasting sustain for notes and chords that go on for miles.

With its all-analogue signal path, the King Comp brings pro-level compression to any setup, whether you’re using it as a tone-shaper, solo lift, or always-on pedal at the front of your chain for extra depth and clarity. Its 18 V power supply gives it huge headroom, useful with hot pickups or more complex boards. It’s also just as at home on bass rigs as it would be on a guitarist’s board, tightening up lows, adding presence, and keeping dynamics smooth and regular without robbing low-end power.
