IN USE
The Kongpressor works best first in your signal
chain*. It can help you fine tune or radically alter
your dynamics and tone. Alternatively, try the
Kongpressor after drive pedals or in your FX loop
for a more subtle studio tone. In addition to controls
for compression (Squash) and output (Volume), the
Kongpressor features Attack and Release controls,
giving you total authority over transients and bloom.
The Chime knob boosts or cuts treble, for restoring
brightness or getting that perfect smooth tone.
POWER
9V Battery Operation
To replace the battery, unfasten the four screws on
the base and secure the new battery in the battery
clip, making sure to observe the battery’s polarity (+
/ -).
DC Adaptor
The Kongpressor can be powered by 9 or 12V DC.
Use a regulated AC-DC adaptor fitted with a centre
negative plug (2.1mm). Running at 12V will increase
the headroom and the output volume available.
*The Kongpressor has buffered bypass, so some vintage pedals,
such as Wahs and Fuzzes will work best placed in front.
