What We Think

The EGO compressor is a top-notch compression pedal. The versatility of it's five knob layout provides a wonderful amount of control to dial in just the right amount of squeeze for whatever you might be playing.  Volume, sustain and attack are the standard controls on this one, but the EGO really shines with its additional blend and tone knobs.  The ability to use the blend knob to mix between a guitar's natural tone and it's compressed signal really helps to keep a frame of reference for how much compression you need to find that perfect bit of squeeze.  And should you want a certain sound for a spanky clean solo, the tone knob is a great way to use the EGO as an addition to your normal tone.  This allows your clean leads to ring warmer or sharper than your basic guitar sound, and punch through the mix in whatever way you see fit. Whether you are looking for an "always on" tone enhancer, or a stomp box to help your clean leads, the EGO is a great choice.          

Manufacturer's Description from Other

rom silky smooth sustain to full out country chicken-picken territory, the Wampler Ego Compressor is the most versatile compressor pedal on the market.
 
So the big question is: what does a compressor do? A compressor adds an element of control to your playing level – it will bring the quieter parts up and the louder parts down. While an ordinary compressor pedal can give you an element of control, a great compressor will give you the “feel” that other average compressors lack.
 
A great tube amp when driven into its sweet spot will naturally compress. Many budget compressors give you the squash and squeeze of a driven amp, but more often than not you tend to lose most of your playing dynamics and expression. The Ego Compressor will give that element of squash and squeeze, but will also allow you to be able to control the effect so that your playing can shine through with that great feel. 
 
When Brian designed this pedal, the word that kept coming back to him was “transparency”. The Ego Compressor epitomizes everything a great compressor should be: flexible and transparent while keeping your tone intact.
 
One of the ways the Ego Compressor lets you have control over your tonal clarity is by the use of the “Blend” knob. The “Blend” knob is a dry mix, which sweeps between a fully effected signal to zero effect across the sweep of the pot. Your unaffected signal can be added back into your overall output. As little or as much as you want, the choice is yours. 
 
The Ego Compressor can also be used as “an effect” rather than keeping the pedal constantly on. Using the Ego Compressor in this manner will fatten up your rhythms and bring some control to your solos. That little bit of extra sparkle will allow your guitar to sit better in the band mix.
