Wampler Wong Compressor Cory Wong is a Grammy nominated guitarist known for his funky playing style . Putting Brian Wampler and Cory Wong together we shouldn ’ t be surprised that this isn ’ t your average garden variety compressor pedal . First off , the Wong Compressor combines a boost effect and compressor in one device . For compressor controls we have attack , tone and sustaaiin ( not a misspelling it is that way on the pedal ), blend and volume . For the Boost effect we have a boost level control and a mini switch that allows you to select mids boost or flat boost . On the right side of the pedal is a push button to keep the Comp always on . On the left side of the pedal is a ground lift switch and XLR output to take the signal straight to the PA system . The ¼ ” input & output jacks are on the front of the pedal on either side of the 9v DC power . The LED status light has three different colors depending on the mode you are in . Compressor only is green ; Boost only is dark blue and put the effects together the LED light is light blue . Street price on the Wampler Wong Compressor is $ 269.97 which is not a bad price for a dual effects pedal that also provides a clean DI for live or studio gigs . The sound quality is pristine , and this effect isn ’ t just for Cory Wong fans . We were able to coax a wide variety of sounds from the Wong Compressor from funk to rock and chicken pickin ’. www . wamplerpedals . com
