Boss LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer

It is a limit, that is to say it levels the peaks of attack, coupled with an enhancer that "sharpens" the sound.
Effects non-editable, formatted pedal.
I do not put him 10 because it has a defect that fills me about the recent Boss pedals: it activates the ignition without the pedal is actuated. For me who pedalboard with a garland, I am obliged to all disabled when I plug in the board and it's heavy.

UTILIZATION

We must control knobs "Threshold" and "Ratio", which passes only through experience even if the manual is very clear and provides the basic adjustments that simply suit his tastes.
FYI, "Threshold" is the threshold beyond which the pedal will act and "Ratio" intensity limit (is it lets a little or a lot of signal or is it that it blocks all).
Enhance a button operation with stupid: the more we turn to the right and we add more treble.
One Level button, as with all Boss pedals.
Editing sounds is easy.

SOUND QUALITY

So I said that those who want a conventional compressor, including sustain, can find better elsewhere (and more expensive too).
For slappistes is really a good pedal: nivellage peaks, smoothing the game with an additional contribution to its brilliance.
Beware, however: the enhancer adds breath even if it is quite acceptable when the button is at 12 (at the level of acute intake is also not negligible).
It can also be used when one needs to play music a little more aggressive (like qqes RATM songs, classic metal ...), putting aside the limit function (preset enhancer is located exclusively in the instructions) .
The manual adjustment picking, I can not say what happens.

OVERALL OPINION

I think it's a really good effect for those who do not collect pedals: limit + enhancer for slapper is nickel.
The limit function can be useful to those who have a game illegally. With the failure of this quality: how to progress in his game if you use a pedal rubber irregularities? Maybe to use only on stage for the confidence!
With experience, I think my bearings (and directs me elsewhere) to an EBS coupled to a BBE Sonic Stomp. It is more cumbersome, but I think the record will be better. I keep the LMB-3 if I would plant.
I put 8 in noting "objective" but it would be 10 if I took into account the price at which it is found secondhand.
