What`s the Compressor Pedal effect?
Many people believe that the biggest role of compression is to increase the duration. This kind of long duration is achieved under the effect of mute, rather than by using overload or distortion effectors. When combined with clean timbre, compression can give you a very bright, thin timbre with sufficient sustain.
When your note volume gradually fades, the compression effector can increase your level to keep it at a certain level, so as to obtain longer sustain.
However, this does not mean that the compression effector can only be used to modify the voiceless sound. The compression effector will get a good effect if it is combined with the speaker overload.
If your plucking force is not stable, you can consider using a compression effector to balance and make the output more stable, especially suitable for playing chords or Funk music with tight and rich rhythm.
In addition, in some country music, there are often many quick play paragraphs, including many techniques of striking and hooking. If you add compression effectors, you can make every note of your music have the same volume.
In this case, the compression effector also has another function, which is to change the dynamic wave crest of notes to make them sound more granular.
