Wampler Ego Vs Suhr Koji

[jzgtrguy]

So I'm looking for a compressor with a blend function. I've read some info on the Tone Press and the Xotic SP but I think I am leaning to either the Wampler Ego or the Suhr Ego.

Does anyone with experience with both of these pedals care to chime in with their impressions?

Anyone?

I can only speak about the Ego, so I'll put in my 2 cents.

I think it's a great compressor, really versatile and the blend knob helps the tone go from warmer/fatter (clockwise) to a no ego effect at all, which pretty much means it's all clean signal.

My only peeve was that I had to fix the grounding issue in my house in order to use it. It was a bit noisy when engaged. But after fixing it worked quietly!

I've had both. Both are great. To me, the Koji sounds little "clearer", less effect on my base tone. Another reason I chose the Koji was because it has a selectable buffer, which I am using.

Anyone else care to at their $0.02 worth?

I Suhr would love a couple more TGP'ers assessment of these two pedals as I myself am pondering the Ego or the Koji.

Can't speak for the suhr but the ego was great at adding a little bit of soft feel attack on the note. I did end up picking up the sp compressor which also has a blend knob. Its also got internal dip switches.

I had the Koji and the Keeley two knob. I sold the Koji to a friend as it didn't do what I wanted. It was too soft.
