Simple and useful

SGStandard 03.12.2018

This bass compressor is robust and small. Even though it does not have the tweak-ability of the the larger compressors it delivers what it promises. Tightens up the sound and adds all the sustain you'd ever want or need. It is quiet and does not color the sound at all, as far as I can tell.

Highly useful, and excellent for the price.

Great comp for the price

Anonymous 10.11.2016

I guess you get whatyou pay for and this is somewhat true for this pedal as it can definitely introduce some noise to the signal should you require more volume. Leaving the volume below 40% (not using the boost feature) is perfect and it really doesn't raise the noise floor that much, you will be satisfied. The Attack feature is indeed a nice touch and is very usable, I really like the slower attach option for slapping and fast attack for mellower tones. The sustain is not extreme, just perfect for bass. I am not a fan of the housing or the design itself but it is sturdy enough for gigs and whatnot. I am overall very happy with this pedal, though I would probably use a higher-end model for studio recordings is that is your thing. I would not ask for more in this price range. As for the tone, I really like how it makes my bass a tad bit warmer so I always have it on, and it sounds perfect after drive/fuzz effects too!!

To have a compressor with sustain and 3 levels of attack is a luxury. I'm very pleased with this small box !

Volume pot needed some adjustment

Lacurnow 15.05.2026

I wanted an affordable compressor for my bass and found this to fit the bill. I noticed that out the box however, turning the pedal on resulted in a signal drop but after following some Reddit/ YouTube suggestions, opening the back and adjusting the pot of the volume nob, I was able to get it set just right. Otherwise it fits my needs!
