The V1 Wampler Ego Compressor has become something of an industry standard since its release, popular with guitarists in all genres. Wampler’s main goal with the Ego was to create a compressor that would do what it needed to without coloring your tone or negatively impacting your dynamics. That’s why the Ego incorporates a clean blend, so that players can have the option of blending their original signal back into the mix.
