The Keeley Compressor is the most popular boutique compressor in the world. With well over 132,000 compressors built (as of 2/7/2024) in their shop they have an expert understanding of compression, limiting, and sustain. They know what it takes to make an instrument sound like it’s been professionally recorded. They know how to make your guitar jump from the mix. They know how to make it fun and easy to play. Keeley Compression is how. The Keeley Compressor Plus is the first true advancement in the 2 and 4 knob compressor line. The new features are simple and straight forward. Now there is a simple Release Switch that is tuned for single coils or humbuckers. No more wondering if you have the attack or release set right. Your humbuckers will have all the attack and punch that they should. Their team designed a gorgeous sounding Tone Control which emphasizes the most sensitive harmonics that can be lost in compression. The Compressor Plus now sports a Blend Control that retains the peaks in your playing and, more importantly, the proper phasing of your guitar signal. The Keeley Compressor Plus offers the same gorgeous push of frequencies and sweetening of tone that the old comps gave you, now with the flexibility to easily handle any instrument.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 Keeley's own design taken from analog delays and other vintage effects. Those effects used an emphasis circuit to recover treble and highs after they went through the BBD or other analog delay lines. They took that circuit and made it into a full fledged tone control! 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!The new Keeley Compressor Plus is the result of Keeley specializing in compressors for over 15 years. Chief Engineer and founder Robert Keeley said, “Compression was the first effect I found that was hard to make sound good off the shelf, so I set out to create the best sounding compression effect possible. We have it down to a science but still treat it like art." The Keeley Compressor Plus is completely made in the United States. ___________________________________________________________________________________________Now, for anyone that wants to know why I'm selling it and most of the other pedals that I bought fairly recently- the following tome is MY story. Feel free to take it all in or ignore it all.My Story (If you're not interested, or have heard this already and are just looking for the sale deets - just scroll down. Sure. No worries. It's just my fairly traumatic recent personal life. No reason for you to read all this, you heartless puppy kickers...)In 2024 I was intent on upgrading my whole pedalboard. And because I have ADHD issues and like to chase the Dopamine rush, I bought a crapload of new pedals, many of which I have never even tried since then. I had this one out of the box one time.I've been playing guitar since I was 12, in and out of so many local bands (I'm sure like many of you) I can't count them all. I have taught neighborhood kids beginning guitar for many years. I was the main guitarist in both "The Big Stuff" and "Tendercrush", both bands that had enough regional success that we were near label contracts both times. (not nearly near enough though)I then had a nice professional career in the studio composing and performing music for TV, radio and film for about 20 years until 2006.I love everything about guitars and gear - I love the hunt for that special guitar/amp/stomp box/sound and have done a lot of it in the past ten years. Some would call me a ̶h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ but I prefer "collector".Up until now.In an earlier draft of this listing, I really over-wrote all this stuff. But I lost the draft overnight to the whims of the Reverb gods, so I am going to make this version much less lengthy. Whoa, you may be thinking. "It was LONGER than THIS?!"Yes. Yes it was.Why I am selling off EVERYTHING.In the past couple years, my personal situation has shifted thusly:My self-owned career day business has taken a couple hard to foresee or prep for setbacks. I won't drag it out or take a political stand here. But I will summarize it like this with two words - "Government" + "Contracts". Again, not going to dwell on details but I am taking home 50% less than I was in 2024. I mean...that's quick. And that's a deep pocket hit.Not looking for pity or even empathy, I accept the situation and it's my job to drive sales and get new projects and clients. But as I mentioned, these hits came out nowhere, and have been hard to rebound from so far. Lots of you probably can understand that situation, especially with the Government shut down about to take its part in our financial world.A few months ago, my CPA firm revealed to me that I owe $20,400 in back taxes from 2023's taxes due to various errors (none on their part, naturally) and so, I am now in debt to the IRS and trying to get out of it.This next one is a bit difficult to be jokey about. Between 2018 and 2023 I underwent THREE spinal surgeries. I have titanium in my lower back that has been installed and then relocated three times now. That has had a bit of an impact on my day-to-day mobility. And pain level.In 2023, I decided to finally spend the money to get one of my front teeth fixed with an implant. I borrowed from my home equity credit and took out the $18,500 that was needed (there were a few more things they took care of at the time, and no I do not have dental insurance) which was semi-manageable and I was tired of looking like a pumpkin head. This was a hardship, but one I had budgeted for.So then, last November, 2024 I had a Grand Mal brain seizure completely out of the blue. (well, unless you want to chalk it up to the stress from all this other stuff that was starting to present itself) that and the corresponding 911 ambulance ride added even more debt.Well, whatever lesson I was supposed to have learned by that first seizure - apparently I didn't learn it. (unless it was - "Don't have seizures!") Between last November and this past Monday, I have had FOUR more Grand Mal Brain Seizures, and TWO CTI Mini Strokes, as well as four more ambulance rides to the ER. I understand that it sounds like I'm laying it on thick, but I will swear on my life that this is exactly what I've been going through with NO embellishment. This is where I'll stop throwing dollar amounts out there. I think you've all been part of the world long enough to know how much money that all represents.So if I'm not angling for pity sales, why am I telling you all this, and what does it mean to you? Well first up:I am selling off as much of my collection as I can bear right now. There are some things which are unique, some things which are rare, and some things that are just great examples of gear you might be looking for in excellent shape.I'm motivated to sell. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not dying (yet). I can handle letting some of these things sit until they get what $$ is right for them. But on the other hand, I'm trying to start lower than any other similar stuff on Reverb. And if you make an offer, I will legit consider it.One reason I'm not going to be overly focused on "every penny possible" is because (and I'm declaring it right here and now) of my physical issues. Due to my back, as well as the fact that I cannot drive (in PA, can't drive until 6 months after your last seizure), I'll be needing some time to get larger items packed and shipped. In the case of a stomp box, sure, not so much. They will be boxed and shipped the next day. But for things like a two part amp stack - it may take me a few more days to find the right packaging, and to get it picked up etc.That's kind of it, really. Other than to say that I've got 22-24 guitars that are also going up for sale, 3 or four amps, and approximately 40 high-end, effects stomp boxes. I will be putting them all up ASAP.So have at it, and if you have any questions - please ask away.I appreciate it,- Scot
