Members RupertB Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 Compressed tone indicates less dynamics (variation in volume) & more sustain. If you think of your guitar signal as a wave-form:Compression clips the peaks off the top and adds gain to the "troughs". This has the effect of evening out the sound volume-wise & adding sustain to decaying notes.The down-side for guitar tone is loss of control over dynamics and compression often alters the note attack, which some players dislike.
