Keeley's most popular pedal ever, with gorgeous sustain and the perfect boost.
The Keeley Compressor Plus is a compressor with an expander/sustainer. Not only does it act as a regular compressor, limiting the peaks in your playing, it adds more and more gain as notes fade out. Now you have sustain. Nothing worse than a note or a bend that has died before its time. The Keeley Compressor Plus adds just the right amount of sustain and expressive bloom to your notes.
The new Release Switch on the Keeley Compressor Plus is designed to make it very easy to transition between single coil and humbucker guitars. Humbuckers have more average energy than single coils which can cause compressors to stay in "compression mode" for a lot longer. When this happens, any series of notes you play will sound dull. With the quick release of the new Compressor Plus, your humbuckers remain true sounding, and each note retains dynamic attack and definition.
The Tone Control is the perfect way to gently add back in those highs lost in the compression process.
The Blend Control is a way of getting the peaks to come through while having sustain at the same time. So if you want sustain more than peak-limiting, this style of Manhattan Compression is for you! Keep all the peaks and transients with the Blend and Tone Controls while adding sustain on the back end. Heaven!
This compressor isn't just for heavy funk or chicken pickin' anymore. The new Compressor Plus is for players wanting a smooth, subtle wash from their guitar. Remove just the right amount of peaks for an ambient layer and then blend in the right amount of treble for a nice shimmer to your guitar. Use with your favourite fuzz to create a wall of tone like you've only heard on records. Looping has never been easier than with this compressor. Consider it an essential tool when creating loops that sound well-balanced. Forget it all and use the Compressor Plus for the best amp boost you've heard.

This is my third compressor and my best by far. My first was a Marshall ED1, second was a Boss CS3. Both compressed, but I found that they crushed the dynamics of the louder volume. The boss was also quite noisy. The Keeley is crystal clear and sharp up to 12 oclock on the sustain and the noise floor is minimally noticeable above that. the real kicker is the blend knob. it allows you to raise up you lower volume notes, while allowing you to keep the dynamics of the volume by blending the original signal. the tone control also allows you to bring in that brightness that gets lost in compression. I do only use it with single coils, so I can't comment on the Humbucker attack setting. Its a little expensive, but it is far above the cheaper pedals, and the best I have used so far. It will be on my board for a long time, I'm sure.

Like this on my pedal board - controls the over all sound nicely.
Runs quietly and I notice it if its not turned on.
Gives the leveling effect I want for all the tone across the EQ spectrum so I can get a bit thicker sound - (using the sustain knob reasonably of course).
PS# Always do your research and try before you buy. lol.

I’ve used Keeley Compressors for years, the 2 knob one and I loved it. Just picked up the Keeley Compressor Plus and it’s just WoW!! The blend knob and tone knob add so much to this pedal. Also the switch for single coil and humbucker make this pedal so easy to set. It’s also a very quiet comp. Try one out... You can’t go wrong with this comp on your board.

Any level past 2 and I get this annoying sssssss sound. Driving me crazy.
No difference when it's on Single Coil or Humbucker. Even when I unplug everything its just hissing non stop.
When I turn the sustain knob it scratches.
I'm very disappointed. At this price point I expect a lot better.

I am not a compressor expert by any stretch. I am still struggling to understand how to best use them. This is my 3rd compressor and it is the simplest. By comparison to others I have owned this one is the quietest and brightest. Unlike other compressors this is the first with a Tone dial. It is very limited in range but it is noticeable. It features a switch for Single or Humbucker pickup instead of an Attack which is the selling feature for me. I am a total idiot when it came to the attack knob. The other three controls are the same as on my other compressors but I found the Mix know more effective. It is really easy to dial in with the Sustain.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
