Keeley GC2 Compressor/Limiting Amplifier Pedal.

Description

As a pedal addict looking for a high-quality, professional-sounding compressor unit that can control and tame your sound, this is the pedal for you.
Great components for Studio-Quality Compression:
The GC-2 is built with only the best components, providing you with studio-quality compression and limiting. The GC-2 is based around the THAT Corp. 4320 circuit, with voltage-controlled amplifiers and high-performance op-amps. This gives you high-fidelity compression which you can precisely control for the perfect sound in your head. There are many compressors on the market that squash your sound too much and dampen your tone. The GC-2 can achieve this but is also very transparent if you want it to be, with a low noise floor that reduces hum from your rig.
Perfect for many applications:
The GC-2 can handle huge signals and has over 20KHz of bandwidth. With a full frequency range, you can use this pedal as the perfect studio tool and run almost anything through it – Guitar, bass, keyboards/synths, drum machines, and a lot more!
Simple but necessary Controls:
Compressors can sometimes have many complicated controls that are difficult to understand, but Keeley have nailed this down to 3 essentials for you.
Threshold – You can use the threshold to search for peaks in your sound, with an ergonomic indicator light letting you know what playing to limit simple! This can reduce and restrict harsh distortion from your amp, making it less likely for you to damage your speakers (and your ears!).
Compression (Ratio) This control lets you decide the amount of squash when your signal exceeds the threshold. Crank this for a hard-knee limiter-style sound, perfect if you play funk and R n B.
Gain You can affect the volume of your signal with the Gain control. If you turn down the Compression knob really low with the Gain high, you can add a musical and crisp boost to your sound.
