Compy

Chellee Guitars LLC, based in Florida, builds boutique pedals to exacting standards. The Compy is a powerful six-knob OTA compressor based on the Ross/Dyna Comp lineage with significant enhancements.

Attack, Sustain, and Level provide familiar compression control. Blend mixes uncompressed signal for parallel compression. Tone shapes the compressed signal's character. Input gain adds texture to the compressed sound.

An internal voltage doubler runs the circuit at 18V for maximum clean headroom while remaining quieter than most compressors. Microcontroller-operated relay bypass reduces switching noise. Two-year warranty, priced at $169.
