KeeleyGC-2 Limiting Amplifier Guitar Compression Pedal
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
GC-2 is a feed-forward compression and limiting pedal designed for transparent, low-noise control across a full frequency range. Threshold, Compression, and Gain let you choose where peaks are caught, how strongly signal above that point is controlled, and the output level. Its indicator lights when selected playing is being limited, providing immediate visual feedback. Listed applications include guitar, keyboards, and drum machines, making it suitable when one processor needs to cover varied signal sources.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Limiting signal peaks while using the threshold indicator for visual feedback during setup.
- Using one full-frequency compressor with guitar, keyboards, and drum machines.
- Running Compression at 1:1 and using the Gain control as a boost.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a dedicated tone control or blend control; GC-2 provides neither.
