​The Strymon Compadre Dual Voice Compressor & Boost is a versatile analog pedal that combines studio-grade compression with flexible boost options. It features two distinct compression modes: "Studio" for smooth, transparent dynamics, and "Squeeze" for a more pronounced, vintage-style compression. A Dry mix control allows for parallel compression, preserving the natural attack of your instrument. The boost section offers up to 14dB of gain with selectable EQ curves—Flat, Mid, and Treble—and a toggle for Clean or Dirty boost, introducing soft clipping reminiscent of overdrive. Additional features include MIDI control, an expression pedal input, and a Favorite switch for preset recall, making the Compadre a powerful tool for both live and studio settings. ​
