Fender Compugilist Compressor / Distortion

ORIGINAL DESIGN—FENDER TONE
Compression and distortion go together like peanut butter and jelly. We combined those two essential effects into one pedalboard-friendly chassis: meet the Compugilist Compressor/Distortion. The two discrete, all-analog effects are independently switchable, allowing you to use them solo or stacked. The straightforward controls make it easy to dial in your sound to taste.

Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Compugilist Compressor/Distortion is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The switchable LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance. 

We packed two completely independent circuits into the Compugilist, making it easy to use them solo or stacked.

Inspired by the all-analog design of vintage pedals, the Compugilist also features modern controls for precision sound-shaping.

This compressor tames volume spikes near-instantly, thanks to the high-current symmetrical control path.

This dedicated toggle switch engages a bass boost to beef up your low end.

Since it uses a center-negative 9VDC connection, it’s easy to use the Smolder with most pedalboards and power supplies.

Every Fender effects pedal is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum and includes switchable LED-illuminated controls.
