Let’s dig in and unmask some of its secrets.Ĭompression is an automatic volume control. It can thicken and add body to tone, and it can also be used to help add sustain.Ĭompression is one of the hardest effects to understand how to use proficiently. This is beneficial for both stage use (keeping a good mix with a band) and bedroom practice (to hear what you’re playing without waking the neighbors). It helps to keep signal dynamics (the spectrum of quiet to loud sounds) under control so there is no need to crank the volume to hear quiet notes, only to have loud notes pummel the ears. This is largely due to the fact that if properly used, it isn’t truly audible as an effect. Compression is possibly the single most misunderstood effect that a guitarist can use.
