Critic Reviews

Suhr Koji Comp review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Suhr Koji Comp impresses with its versatile compression capabilities and added tonal options. Its standout features include a glassy top-end boost and a mix knob for parallel compression, making it suitable for both subtle dynamic control and more pronounced effects. The inclusion of distinct EQ boosts helps counteract the dullness often associated with compression, adding a pleasing chime to clean notes. While it largely excels, offering a wide range of compression from gentle to vintage-style squash, the review notes few drawbacks, making this pedal a solid choice for guitarists seeking comprehensive compression options.

Versatile Compressor, Highly under-rated

Just got this one having spent a good bit of time researching decent, flexible compressors for a wide range of uses. Incredibly versatile with 9v and 18v power options for those wanting a bit more headroom.

Must have, wide range of tones a quality pedal all round

This is a quality compressor effect pedal. Some pump and disappoint, but not the Suhr.

As you might expect, that means he depends on pedals to muck up his tones. Live, he’s recently been using an Xotic SL Drive for dirt—although for the Five Seconds sessions he used an Ibanez Tube Screamer. “Otherwise, I used pretty much the same gear that I use live. I’ve got the Suhr Koji Comp compressor, which is on probably 50 percent of the time. Back in the olden days, I’d have everything on all the time—it never occurred to me to bypass them! [Laughs.] Now, I bypass them so they sound more exciting when they do come in.” A Boss DD-500 delay is another go-to. “It can do a whole whack-crazy amount of things, though my presets are mainly based on tempo and varying the modulation of the delay. So, you can have a straightforward delay, or you can have a slightly seasick delay or change the actual tone of the delay signal. I’ve also got an old Electro-Harmonix Memory Man, which sounds really sick, but it’s too big to fit on my pedalboard. I use that for recording at home.”
