- Volume: Sets the overall output level of the pedal.
- Mestura: Mixes the dry, uncompressed signal with the compressed signal. This allows for parallel compression, preserving natural dynamics while adding sustain.
Características principais:
- Advanced dynamic control for guitar signals.
- Blend knob for parallel compression.
- Designed to maintain playing dynamics without altering tone.
- Versatile for various compression styles, from subtle to pronounced.

3. Configuración
3.1. Requisitos de enerxía
O Wampler Ego Compressor V2 requires a 9V-18V DC power supply (center negative). It can also be powered by a 9V battery. Ensure the power supply meets these specifications to prevent damage.
3.2. Connecting the Pedal
- Connect your guitar to the pedal's input jack.
- Connect the pedal's output jack to your amplificador ou o seguinte pedal da túa cadea de sinal.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento
To activate the Wampler Ego Compressor V2, press the footswitch. The LED indicator will illuminate when the pedal is active.
4.1. Funcionamento básico
- Start with all knobs at their 12 o'clock position.
- Axustar o Sostén knob to increase or decrease the compression level. Higher settings provide more sustain.
- Usa o Ataque knob to control the compressor's response time. A faster attack (counter-clockwise) will compress the initial transient more quickly, while a slower attack (clockwise) allows more of the initial pick attack to pass through.
- O Ton knob allows you to fine-tune the high-frequency content of the compressed signal.
- Axustar o Volume knob to match the output level of the pedal to your bypassed signal or to provide a slight boost.
- O Mesturar knob is crucial for mixing your dry signal with the compressed signal. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of compressed signal, while counter-clockwise increases the dry signal. This allows for transparent compression without losing dynamic feel.
4.2. Tips for Optimal Use
- For subtle, "always-on" compression, set Sustain and Attack moderately, and use the Blend knob to mix in a significant portion of your dry signal.
- For pronounced country "chicken-pickin'" tones, increase Sustain, set Attack to a faster response, and adjust Blend to taste.
- Experiment with the Tone knob to brighten or darken the compressed sound, especially when using higher Sustain settings.
5. Mantemento
O Wampler Ego Compressor V2 is a robust pedal designed for durability.
- Keep the pedal clean and free from dust and debris.
- Avoid exposing the pedal to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- Cando non se use durante períodos prolongados, desconecte a fonte de alimentación.
- If using a battery, remove it when the pedal is not in use to prevent leakage.
- Use only approved 9V-18V DC center-negative power supplies.
6 Solución de problemas
6.1. Sen son
- Comprobe todas as conexións dos cables (entrada, saída, alimentación).
- Asegúrate de que a fonte de alimentación estea conectada correctamente e que proporcione o volume correctotage (9V-18V DC, center negative).

- Check if the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
6.2. Excessive Noise/Hum
- Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
- Comprobe se hai bucles de terra na súa cadea de sinal.
- Try the pedal in a different power outlet or location.
- Reduce high gain settings on your amplifier ou outros pedais.
6.3. Inconsistent Compression
- Review the settings of the Sustain, Attack, and Blend knobs.
- Ensure your guitar's output is consistent.
- Comprobe se hai conexións soltas.
