Description
Experience the signature tone of Grammy-nominated artist Cory Wong with the Wampler Cory Wong Compressor. This premium pedal combines a highly responsive compressor and versatile boost in a single, compact unit, designed to deliver sparkling cleans and dynamic control for both live performance and studio recording.
The pedal features dual soft footswitches, allowing independent control of compression and boost modes. Customise your sound with full control over Volume, Sustain, Attack, Blend, and Wampler’s exclusive Tone control, which adds clarity and sparkle to your playing. The boost includes a rotary control for the amount of gain and a profile switch to select between a flat volume boost or a rich, mid-focused saturation around 550Hz for extra vibrancy.
Ideal for direct recording or live use, the pedal offers an XLR output with a ground lift switch, enabling a clean, hum-free connection to PA systems, mixers, or audio interfaces. The unique “Comp On” switch permanently engages the compressor, perfect for seamless boost integration without additional footswitching.

The boost mode switch lets you choose between a flat volume boost or a saturated mid boost with extra vibrancy around 550Hz. This gives you tonal flexibility to suit different playing styles and musical genres.
