Orange Amps Launches King Comp

Orange Amps Launches King Comp

Class A VCA Compressor Pedal 

The new Orange Amps King Comp is a super low noise Class A VCA compressor pedal with 18V DC power supply for extra headroom and subtle envelope shaping control. It brings studio style compression dynamics to any pedalboard and offers a warm musical response with an exceptionally low noise floor.

Developed to meet the ever-evolving musical needs of guitarists and bassists, the King Comp pedal enhances sound by adding sustain, snap and sparkle rather than flattening it, offering smooth, musical, pro-level compression with real character.

The super useful dual attack and release knobs mean users can set how quickly the compression kicks in and shape every note they play. The versatile attack control allows anything from understated tightening to pronounced pogoing bounce to be dialled in. At the same time the equally adaptable release control gives long-lasting sustain for notes and chords that can go on for miles. Plus, there is also visual feedback of any compression applied when the King Comp’s onboard LED switches from blue to pink.

At the heart of the King Comp pedal is the Class A VCA compression circuit that delivers precision dynamics with a warm, natural feel.  There is also a high-quality buffered bypass to ensure signals stay strong and consistent, even when the pedal is off. The buffer maintains clarity, keeping sound punchy and defined and makes the King Comp reliable as an always-on part of any setup.

Running with the external 18V DC supply maximises the King Comp’s dynamic range and reduces compression artefacts so the pedal delivers the most transparent version of any instrument's tone, making it especially useful with hot pickups, basses and more complex pedalboards.

The King Comp pedal offers precise dynamic control with a musical feel that responds like a great amp. To find out more please go to www.orangeamps.com.
