Experience the signature tone of Grammy-nominated artist Cory Wong with the Wampler Cory Wong Compressor. This premium pedal combines a highly responsive compressor and versatile boost in a single, compact unit, designed to deliver sparkling cleans and dynamic control for both live performance and studio recording.

The pedal features dual soft footswitches, allowing independent control of compression and boost modes. Customise your sound with full control over Volume, Sustain, Attack, Blend, and Wampler’s exclusive Tone control, which adds clarity and sparkle to your playing. The boost includes a rotary control for the amount of gain and a profile switch to select between a flat volume boost or a rich, mid-focused saturation around 550Hz for extra vibrancy.

Frequently Asked Questions ➤ What is the purpose of the “Comp On” switch? The “Comp On” switch permanently engages the compressor circuit, allowing you to have compression active at all times. This is useful on stage to avoid having to activate the compressor via the footswitch when engaging boost. ➤ How does the boost mode switch work? The boost mode switch lets you choose between a flat volume boost or a saturated mid boost with extra vibrancy around 550Hz. This gives you tonal flexibility to suit different playing styles and musical genres. ➤ Can I connect the pedal directly to a mixing desk or PA system? Yes, the pedal includes a balanced XLR output with a ground lift switch. This allows for a clean, hum-free connection directly to a mixer, audio interface, or PA system without the need for additional DI boxes. ➤ What controls does the compressor section offer? The compressor provides complete control over Volume, Sustain, Attack, Blend, and Tone, enabling you to shape your dynamics and add sparkle and clarity to your guitar’s sound. ➤ Is the pedal true bypass?
