Combining two distinct compression voices with a fully independent analog boost circuit, it functions as both a precision compressor and a flexible clean\/dirty boost in a single compact unit. The result is enhanced clarity, improved sustain, and a more controlled, mix-ready tone while preserving the natural dynamics of your playing. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003eAt its core, Compadre is built around a high-quality analog VCA compression engine paired with a Class-A JFET input stage, giving it a responsive, amp-like feel with extremely low noise and high headroom. It offers two compression modes: a transparent “Studio” style for smooth levelling and a more aggressive “Squeeze” mode for vintage-style compression and extended sustain. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003eThe boost section is equally flexible, functioning independently from the compressor so you can use either effect alone or stack them together. It provides up to around +14 dB of gain in clean mode, with optional EQ shaping and a selectable “dirty” boost that introduces soft clipping for subtle overdrive character. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19zqy0x\" data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"2383\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ynorbm\" data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1408\"\u003eDual-mode analog compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e with Studio (transparent) and Squeeze (vintage, high-sustain) voicings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1x1fi3d\" data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003eIndependent analog boost circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e usable on its own or stacked with compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14w8bz0\" data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1639\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1603\"\u003eClean or dirty boost options\u003c\/strong\u003e, with up to ~+14 dB of clean gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"mrnzjh\" data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1722\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eSelectable boost EQ curves\u003c\/strong\u003e (flat, mid, treble shaping) for tonal tailoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"adrn1r\" data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1809\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1725\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eParallel compression control (Dry blend)\u003c\/strong\u003e to retain attack and natural dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"2c3jfw\" data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1899\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003eClass-A JFET input stage\u003c\/strong\u003e for enhanced touch sensitivity and low-noise performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"vzxnc1\" data-start=\"1900\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1902\" data-end=\"1933\"\u003eHigh-headroom analog design\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for guitar, bass, and line-level sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1egmqqp\" data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2068\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2016\"\u003eExpression pedal support\u003c\/strong\u003e for volume control or real-time parameter shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1gttgrr\" data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2098\"\u003eMIDI control capability\u003c\/strong\u003e for preset recall and full rig integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1kuh58j\" data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2214\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2187\"\u003ePreset and favourite switching support\u003c\/strong\u003e via external controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1agyaja\" data-start=\"2215\" data-end=\"2300\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2262\"\u003eSelectable true bypass or buffered bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e for flexible pedalboard integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hn5guw\" data-start=\"2301\" data-end=\"2383\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003eAll-analog audio path\u003c\/strong\u003e with digital control for precision without tone loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003eThe Compadre is widely regarded as an “always-on” front-end pedal, one that subtly improves feel, clarity, and consistency while also being capable of more pronounced compression and boost effects when needed. It’s especially useful for players who want studio-style control of dynamics without losing the natural response of their instrument and amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-end=\"2543\" data-start=\"2191\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Shipping Musical Instruments Australia-Wide\" href=\"https:\/\/joondalupmusic.com.au\"\u003eShipping to Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane \u0026amp; Adelaide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233527476446,"sku":"SN-COMPADRE","price":499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/8683\/0302\/files\/compadre_1_627x700_d328cff9-2ee3-4aab-9fe0-2da434a39dcb.jpg?v=1778587374","url":"https:\/\/joondalupmusic.com.au\/products\/strymon-compadre-compressor-boost","provider":"Joondalup Music Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
