Your Dream Tone Starts Here.

Start your signal chain with the best possible version of your guitar tone. Treat your guitar signal to true studio quality analog compression with two distinct voices for smooth transparency or vintage squeeze. Hit the Boost switch to add clean boost or soft-clipped dirty boost, with the EQ curve of your choice. Mix in some dry signal for natural attack even with extreme compression settings. Feel the perfectly tailored dynamic response, feeding your amp and effects just what they need to sound their best.

Your Everything Upgrade.

From pickups, tubes, capacitors, to speaker cabinets—the aspects of a rig that can be upgraded or changed are nearly endless. Plug in Compadre and you may find you already have everything you need for the tone you’ve been seeking.

Bring out your amp’s character in ways you never thought possible. Compadre’s Class A JFET input circuit, studio quality analog compression, and musically voiced analog boost circuits all work together to make your amp sound like it was just modified by a world-class boutique amp designer.

Super Flexible, Super Easy

Compadre gives you everything you need to shape your front end tone, and nothing to slow you down. Auto makeup gain and auto threshold mean that all you have to do is turn up the Compression knob to dial in the desired amount. Compadre’s wide variety of tone shaping features are all designed to easily sound great across a wide variety of settings.

Two Distinct Analog Compression Circuits.

Choose between two compression circuits, each with its own unique character. Studio mode gives you the smooth, beautifully transparent compression typically found in the best vintage studio rack units. For a harder compression effect typical of classic guitar pedals, Compadre’s Squeeze mode is designed to deliver heavy compression with maximum sustain.

Boost the Sweet Spot, Clean or Dirty.

Compadre gives you two distinct analog boost circuits: a clean boost, and a dirty boost that introduces soft clipping, characteristic of an overdrive pedal. The selectable boost EQ ensures the perfect compliment to any guitar and amp combination. Add sparkle and shine with a treble boost, fatten your tone with the midrange boost, or level up the full frequency range with flat mode.

Extended Control.

Connect an expression pedal to add premium VCA-based volume control. Add an optional MiniSwitch or MultiSwitch Plus to store and recall your favorite settings. Integrate Compadre into a MIDI pedalboard using our MIDI EXP Cable and access up to 300 preset locations.

Sound Design

Vintage Inspiration, Modern Execution.

The Compadre design project started with a study of some of the finest analog compressors ever created, inspiring and guiding our circuit design process. Utilizing a VCA in the compression circuits allowed us to carefully tune the exact response and dynamics we desired for each voicing.

For Studio mode, our goal was to achieve the musical and transparent sound found within our favorite studio rack units and the best vintage studio console bus compression. Careful tuning of our detection circuit granted us exacting control over decay, especially important for Squeeze mode. With ample sustain on tap, we paid special attention to creating a completely smooth decay, with no unwanted pumping artifacts.

Features

Independent Boost and Compression

For maximum versatility, Compadre allows you to use its Boost and Compression either together or independently from one another. In this way Compadre is truly two pedals in one. Put that together with the ability to store and recall presets using MultiSwitch Plus or MIDI, and the possibilities are limitless.

Parallel Compression

Compadre’s Dry knob allows you to add the desired amount of dry signal back into your tone, in parallel with your compressed signal. This way, even with the most extreme compression settings, you can preserve your natural uncompressed attack and add air back into even the most squashed signal.

Premium VCA Volume Pedal

Compadre features a dedicated VCA for its Level control and volume pedal input. Just connect any TRS expression pedal and you’ve got a premium VCA-based volume pedal. No chance for scratchy pots, impedance issues, or tone suck that can affect some other volume pedals. Compadre really does give you everything you need for the front end of your signal chain.

Class A JFET Input Circuit

Compadre features a premium Class A JFET Input Circuit that delivers exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic interaction with your guitar or bass, while maximizing headroom and allowing the pedal to achieve a low noise floor.

Ready for Guitar or Bass

Compadre’s frequency response goes all the way down to 20Hz with no high pass roll off (unless Treble or Mid boost EQ curves are used). This means that floor shaking low notes from a bass can shine through just as strongly as soaring leads or tight rhythms from a guitar.

MIDI Control

Integrate Compadre into an elaborate MIDI pedalboard or use it in an ultra-compact setup for easy travel. Via MIDI, Compadre can store and recall up to 300 presets. Connect our MIDI EXP Cable to the FAV/MIDI jack to access these features.

Everyone has a favorite.

Compadre allows you to save and recall your favorite settings. Just connect an optional MiniSwitch or other external latching footswitch with a TRS cable to store and recall your Favorite setting. Or use MultiSwitch Plus to store and recall up to three Favorites.

Precise Level Control

Compadre features auto threshold and auto makeup gain to make setting the compressor quick and easy. If you need to fine tune Compadre’s output level when compression is engaged, the Level knob can be used to adjust the output level of the compressor by -6dB to +6dB, with unity gain at noon.

Analog or Digital? We chose both.

From the Class A JFET input circuit, to the VCA-based compression, to the Clean Boost and the diode soft clipping Dirty Boost, every aspect of Compadre’s audio signal processing is fully analog, with premium quality components, design, and workmanship throughout. The audio signal is never converted to or from digital.

In Compadre, the digital aspect comes in the form of digital control and programmability. By converting digital control messages to analog control voltages, we can offer full MIDI control and recallable presets while preserving a completely analog signal path from end to end.

      Not good for sensitive skin
      Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
      Not great for sensitive skin. But great for cleaning brushes or removing makeup if you have nothing else. Left my sensitive skin burning.

      Gentle on my skin, tough at removing makeup.
      Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
      I've tried many different kinds of makeup remover wipes in my day, but I've never used these Neutrogena ones. As I was looking for some wipes to try out (as I'd recently used up all the ones I had), I decided to ordered the Neutrogena ones. These packs came very well presented, and were in excellent condition. I appreciate that the wipes were wrapped in a plastic-type wrap, which protected them from the elements. The wipes feel so soft and gentle on my skin; each cloth wipe feels durable, and is great at removing stuck-on makeup. These not only remove makeup very well, but they leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I've not had any issues with irritations while using on my skin, and there's also no fragrance to the wipes (which may be of some importance to certain people). I love that these wipes are made from plant-based materials, and they are compostable. The cloths feel durable yet lightweight, and have plenty of essence on each wipe. Additionally, these packs of wipes are convenient got on-the-go purposes. I'm really happy with these Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, and feel they're of excellent quality and value. I feel these are a good value because this came with 2 packs (each with 25 wipes), and one wipe can do a lot. At the time of my purchase (and review), these wipes were listed at around $7.98; I personally think this is a very nice deal, and would definitely consider ordering them again. I also would highly recommend these to others.

      Perfect Facial Wipes
      Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
      These are great for washing makeup off if, like me, you cannot use soap on your face. They are convenient to use; just pull from the package. They are moist and leave your skin clean and smelling fresh. These wipes do not irritate my skin or leave an oily residue. I have used them for year and always have a pack in my makeup area.

      My Go-To Makeup Wipes
      Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2), Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
      These have been my go-to makeup wipes for years. Ever since I discovered them, I keep repurchasing them because they work so well. They do a great job of removing the bulk of my makeup before I wash my face, including eye makeup, without needing a lot of rubbing. I also really like that they don’t leave behind a greasy residue or make my skin feel dry afterward. The wipes feel gentle on the skin while still being effective, which is important for everyday use. I also appreciate that the cloth is plant-based and compostable, which feels like a better option compared to regular wipes. The twin pack is also convenient and a good value. Overall, a reliable staple in my skincare routine and one of the few makeup wipes I consistently come back to.

      Amazing Pimple Patches - Actually Work!
      Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
      Effectiveness: These Mighty Patch Original hydrocolloid patches have been absolutely incredible for treating breakouts quickly and effectively without harsh chemicals or painful extraction. The patches work remarkably well overnight, drawing out impurities and reducing the size and inflammation of pimples by morning. I love how they protect blemishes from picking and touching, which prevents further irritation and scarring. The clear design makes them virtually invisible during wear, so I can use them during the day without feeling self-conscious. The patches stick securely without being painful to remove, and they genuinely speed up the healing process compared to leaving breakouts untreated. Quality: Hero Cosmetics has created an exceptional product with these hydrocolloid patches that clearly demonstrates superior manufacturing quality. The adhesive is perfectly balanced - strong enough to stay in place through sleep and daily activities but gentle enough to remove without skin irritation. The hydrocolloid material is high-grade and effectively draws out fluid and impurities without over-drying the surrounding skin. The patches maintain their integrity throughout wear and don't fall apart or lose effectiveness. The sterile packaging ensures product safety and hygiene, which is essential for treating open or inflamed skin. Value for Money: These pimple patches provide outstanding value when you consider how effectively they treat breakouts while preventing scarring and further damage from picking. The cost per patch is reasonable considering the dramatic results they deliver, often clearing blemishes faster than expensive acne treatments. The prevention of scarring alone makes these worth far more than their price, as treating acne scars is much more expensive and time-consuming than preventing them. The convenience and effectiveness make these far more cost-effective than multiple skincare products or dermatologist visits for individual breakouts. These patches have become essential in my skincare routine and consistently deliver impressive results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional or persistent breakouts who wants fast, effective treatment!
