Studio-quality Control at Your Feet

Bring clarity and control into your bass tone with the Keeley Bassist Compressor guitar effects pedal. Designed specifically to handle big bass signals, the Bassist Compressor uses accurate VCA-style compression to give you the ultimate control over your sound. Sweetwater's bassists agree, this pedal is as versatile as they come. You can use it as a limiter to protect your amp and speakers from distortion when you dig in during a solo, as an effect for extra punch during a song, or turn back the compression and use it as a boost. And with special attention paid to bandwidth and noise, the Keeley Bassist Compressor gives you studio-quality compression without the expense and hassle of outboard rack gear.

I was running a GK 500w 2x12 with a different compressor (Xotic) that was not giving the articulation i wanted at higher gain settings along with an audible "hiss"...problem solved..this pedal retains my fingerstyle definition without too much "squash", is completely silent in the pedal chain, is fairly transparent, and can add a nice signal boost. It took a minute to figure out not having a "blend" knob, but with this gem one is not necessary at all...at minimum setting it retains all the pick or finger nuances you could ever want, or you can crush down on the compression and run it into a distortion pedal with no loss of clarity...simply the best...

Keeley makes good products, and this is no exception. This is easy to use, and it works extremely well. It is geared towards the bass, which makes it easy to use on stage, and produces a nice consistent sound.

This is a pedal that I haven't wanted to go without since I got it. I run a parametric eq directly after my bass and into the Keeley Bassist, which delivers me a consistent, punchy clean tone to push through a couple different effects & into my preamp DI pedal. Whether I'm playing with pick or fingers, there's no more having the sound person turn you down because you happen to get a little heavy handed every now & then!

A FOH engineer showed me how to dial in the controls recently and oh boy what a difference it made. It's like God's bass now. I primarily play direct with no amp using IEMs. And after the subtle tweak, it's like a new sound. I'm totally inspired now.

Bought this for my bass setup after watch Khraungbin's rig rundown where Laura Lee was using this pedal. She has an awesome bass tone when combined with some smooth compression really is a fun sound to get on the bass. You can play way more lightly and every the comes out smooth, punchy and fat. I also like simple pedals and this one certainly satisfied the requirement while still allowing for tweaking.

Thanks to Patrick Weaver my sales engineer!
