Wampler Wong Compressor

Cory Wong has in a fairly short time made himself known as one of the most swinging and influential funk guitarists in the industry. The Ego Compressor from Wampler has always been part of his sound, but now Cory and Brian Wampler have taken it to the next level. The Wong Compressor also has a boost built in that makes this pedal very versatile. We think this is a new modern classic. The Wampler EGO compressor has been an integral part of Cory Wong’s signature sound for years, providing the light touch required to subtly drive the best from his tone, so this was a natural starting point for designing his signature pedal. Cory’s vision included some very specific features including an XLR out so he could go straight into a computer interface, mixing desk, or PA for those signature bright and clean tones. He also wanted to add a boost that allowed him to choose either a flat volume boost or a rich, saturated boost that could push his midrange a little, all in a compact pedal enclosure with two foot-switches and an always-ON mode allowing stage friendly operation. The Wampler Cory Wong Compressor delivers all of this with the premium build quality Wampler is known for. The Wampler Cory Wong compressor features two soft footswitches that operate each function of the pedal with a three-color LED indicator to show which mode is active. The Compressor side offers complete control over Volume, Sustain, Attack, and Blend as well as Brian Wampler’s signature Tone control which can be dialed in to add sparkle and chime to your guitar’s tone. On the boost side, a single rotary boost control adjusts the amount of boost activated and a profile switch sets the mode of the boost circuit from a flat boost to a rich saturated boost with an extra vibrancy around the 550Hz range. Combine both channels for glorious compression and a powerful lead boost. The Cory Wong Compressor is a complete solution for sculpting tone either on the stage or in the studio.
