Kongpressor
The Kongpressor is a Class A VCA compressor pedal that brings studio-style dynamics to your pedalboard. From subtle squish to bold sustain, it enhances your tone with clarity, warmth and sparkle without losing touch sensitivity. Use it to tighten your clean tone, smooth out single-note lines or lift your solos with up to +12 dB of clean boost. The internal charge pump increases headroom, so even at high settings, your signal stays open and expressive. Whether you’re after subtle polish or full-on squash, the Kongpressor gives you precise dynamic control with a musical feel that responds like a great amp.

In More Detail
The Kongpressor is a unique guitar compressor pedal that blends VCA precision with Class A warmth, delivering smooth, musical compression with real character. It’s designed to bring out the best in your playing by adding sustain, snap, and sparkle while preserving your dynamics and feel. The attack and release controls let you dial in anything from subtle tightening to a pronounced “pop”, while the chime knob adds extra harmonic brightness. The 12 dB clean boost lets you push your amp or simply make your parts stand out in the mix.
An internal charge pump raises the voltage to 18V for increased headroom, ensuring your signal stays clean and detailed even at high compression levels. With its all-analogue signal path and silent relay switching, the Kongpressor brings pro-level compression to any setup, whether you’re using it as a tone-shaper, solo lift, or always-on pedal at the front of your chain for extra depth and clarity.
VCA Class A Compression
At the heart of the Kongpressor is a Class A VCA compression circuit, a rare combination that delivers precision dynamics with a warm, natural feel. Unlike many compressors that flatten your sound, the Kongpressor enhances it, adding sustain and snap while keeping your playing touch-responsive. The attack and release knobs give you fine control over how the compression behaves, whether you want subtle smoothing or bold, percussive pop. It’s a studio-style circuit designed for guitarists, built for the stage and engineered to sound musical at every setting.
12 dB clean boost
The Kongpressor isn’t just for compression, it’s also a powerful clean boost. With up to 12 dB of output gain, it gives your signal extra lift to push amps, cut through a mix or fatten your tone. Because the boost sits after the compression stage, it maintains a clear, punchy sound even at high settings. Use it to bring out the detail in fingerpicked parts, add weight to clean tones, or stack with drives for extra richness and sustain.
Internal charge pump
To keep your compressed signal open and expressive, the Kongpressor uses an internal charge pump to double the operating voltage from 9 V to 18 V. This extra headroom means less distortion and more dynamic range, so your tone stays clean and defined, even when the compression is heavy. The result is a pedal that feels more like playing through a responsive amp than a stompbox. And because it still runs on standard 9 V power, it’s easy to drop into any modern pedalboard setup.
