In this article, we’re going to be discussing vocal compressors, and in particular, listing the top 6 vocal compressor units that are available in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before we jump straight into that, we’re going to briefly discuss what the role of a compression processor is, and what types are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Vocal Compressor Pedals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vocal compression is an effect used to limit the dynamics of a vocal take, this can be both in a studio environment or live on-stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, singers who want to have vocal compression for on-stage performances will want a solution which is 100% reliable, since there’s only one chance to get the performance right! That’s where vocal compressor pedals come into usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocal compressor pedals offer singers the ability to activate the vocal compression without the need for a complex setup, such as a laptop\/computer, which is running a compressor program, which could freeze or crash at any given time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the singer can have a small piece of hardware, the vocal compression pedal, which is situated directly in front of the singer on-stage and can be activated and de-activated with the touch of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Vocal Compressor Pedals for Vocals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"vocal<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is a range of multifunctional vocal effects pedals available that provide vocal compression which you can find here; however, there aren’t many pedals with the compression effect as it’s singular functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there are also vocal compressor processing units (usually rack-mountable and lacking foot pedal functionality) which can be used for both live and studio vocal compression… Therefore, this article has been split into three different sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
