BOOST EQ
Selects the frequency shape for clean and dirty boost.
treble: Tightens the bottom end by boosting mid to high
frequencies.
mid: Fattens tone by pushing midrange frequencies.
flat: Full range frequency response.
COMP TYPE
Select the type of compression.
studio: Smooth compression as found in vintage rack
compressors.
squeeze: Hard compression typical of classic guitar pedals.

LEVEL
Adjusts the output level of the
pedal by -6dB to +6dB when the
compressor is engaged. Noon is
unity gain.
COMPRESSION
Turning clockwise
increases compression by
lowering the threshold.
Fully counterclockwise, no
compression is applied.
BOOST
Adjusts the amount of boost
when the boost circuit is
active. Typical boost ~14dB in
Flat Clean boost.
DRY
Adjusts the amount of dry signal
summed with the compressor
output.

COMP
Engages and disengages the VCA
compressor independent of the
BOOST. RED LED ON indicates
that the compressor is engaged.
BOOST
Engages and disengages the
variable boost independent
of the COMP. The boost is
post-compression. RED LED
ON indicates that the boost is
engaged.
NOTE: When both BOOST and COMP are disengaged,
the bypass is either Buffered Bypass or True Bypass
depending on the selected mode.

clipping boost circuit.
CLEAN: Boost circuit increases
output level without introducing
noticeable clipping.
DIRTY: Boost circuit increases
output level while introducing the
soft clipping characteristic of an
overdrive pedal.
OUT
Low impedance
mono output.
IN
High impedance ultra
low-noise discrete Class
A JFET preamp input.
VOLUME
Connect a TRS expression pedal
for full-time volume pedal
functionality.

bypass mode and begin using
Compadre.
NOTE: Power up modes are
saved unless they are changed

Setting Compadre to Buffered Bypass mode preserves the high
frequency response of your guitar signal through your pedal chain and
long cable runs.
