Unmatched clarity — together, Kevin Suhr and Andy Wood have built a compressor that is the foundation of some of Andy’s favorite tones. The conception of the Suhr Woodshed Comp was to make something unique and with more character than the commonly used compressors on the market. With the Suhr Woodshed Compressor, the main goals were to provide compression while maintaining the tone and transients of the guitar, without being as temperamental as vintage pedals. Don’t let its size fool you — the tonal characteristics of this tiny pedal can only be eclipsed by its durability.

The goal with the Woodshed Comp was to retain realistic nuances in your tone while adding soaring sustain, without having to resort to too much drive and distortion. The Woodshed Comp is the best way to keep that fundamental tone, especially when you’re using different amps at different volumes in different venues. It's set with a fast-attack speed and balanced compression that allows the guitar to sing, punch, and have that sustain. Andy wanted the control’s sweet spot to be in a specific place. In turn, you get a very sensitive range of the controls with a wide sweep, expanded ratio, threshold and gain range. This allows the threshold to work on lower signals, such as single coils. With the Woodshed Comp, a little goes a long way when dialing in your compression!
