Woodshed Comp Overview
The Andy Wood Woodshed Compressor: The first pedal designed alongside
one of our Suhr artists. Together, Kevin Suhr and Andy Wood have built a
compressor that is the foundation of some of Andy’s favorite tones. As you
know, Andy plays in multiple musical environments and this small compres-
sor echoes his versatility. Compression is used to even out your signal, as
well as give you more sustain and punch, giving you added control over the
dynamics of your audio signal. Dynamics refers to variation of the volume of a
sound or note, over time. Some instruments have a fast initial sound and de-
cay smoothly, while other instruments have a slower, more violin-like attack.
All can be sculpted with compression� The conception of the Suhr Woodshed
Comp was to make something unique and with more character than the com-
monly used compressors on the market� Compressors are like overdrives;
they all have different flavors and do different things. With the Woodshed
Comp, the main goals were to provide compression while maintaining the
tone and transients of the guitar, without being as temperamental as vintage
pedals�
Sometimes, when you start squeezing and compressing, you start losing tran-
sients, but not with the Woodshed Comp. There are spikes and imperfections,
however, these are what make a tone truly great and make guitars sound like
guitars, not like a midi file. Our goal was to retain these nuances 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.
