Orange Amplification has unveiled the King Comp, a new Class A VCA compressor pedal that brings studio-grade compression to guitarists and bassists. Designed with an 18V DC power supply for extra headroom and a super low noise floor, the King Comp delivers smooth, musical dynamics with precision and warmth.
Built to enhance rather than flatten your tone, the King Comp adds sustain, snap, and sparkle while maintaining the instrument’s natural character. It’s ideal for players seeking professional-grade compression that feels musical and expressive, not sterile or over-processed.
Key Features
- Class A VCA compression circuit for studio-quality dynamics and natural response
- 18V DC power for increased headroom and reduced compression artefacts
- Dual Attack and Release controls to fine-tune the pedal’s response and sustain
- Buffered bypass to maintain signal clarity and strength, even when the pedal is off
- LED visual feedback that shifts from blue to pink to show the amount of compression applied
Players can easily shape their sound using the dual attack and release knobs, controlling how fast the compression engages and how long it sustains. The attack can be dialed from subtle tightening to a lively, percussive bounce, while the release knob lets notes ring out with rich sustain.
Inside, the Class A VCA circuit ensures the King Comp reacts with the organic feel of a high-end amplifier. Combined with the high-quality buffer, it preserves tone and consistency across complex pedal setups, making it a great always-on addition to any rig.
Powered by an external 18V supply, the King Comp provides a wide dynamic range that handles hot pickups and high-output instruments effortlessly. The result is a transparent, reliable compressor that brings studio performance to the stage.
The Orange Amps King Comp is available now through authorized Orange Amplification dealers.
