All user reviews for the EBS MultiComp (Black Label)

An analog compressor (see instructions)
The connector (2 standard jacks), a bypass button and a button low active / passive.

UTILIZATION

Two buttons (volume, gain) is simple to find multiple sounds.
The English manual is pretty short. (I would have preferred to have several examples of settings.)
Only downside, the battery change is made only unscrewing 4 screws underneath the pedal. It is not practical at all, take the opportunity to address two small knobs above the battery to change your sound.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is at the rendezvous. This is the ultimate in compression.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for 4 months. But if I had known the quality of sound that was available here in the group, I would have bought before.
I play jazz bass passive for 19 years in a rock band. I made the mistake of buying a lot of multi effect (boss GT10B ...) here thinking that would improve my sound. The sound of multi-effect effect tended to distort my sound by making vague. If I have any advice for beginning bassists all, do not waste time with muti effect (digital), go directly to the analog effect, you gain presence and accuracy in sound.
.

Nothing to add ...

UTILIZATION

Easy to use; manual who cares; Issue: beeeen you lean on the big button, you turn and small ways you what it looks like.

SOUND QUALITY

Used with a low entry level with Bartolini pickups JB. I use it not as a volume boost, but a boost for short: I find that when I play with a group, my bass sound is audible and better without having to increase the volume. I put it in front of a SansAmp Bass Driver before attacking my amp: I think this pedal can have a clearly defined sound, not easy to explain. In any case, no question of separate.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3, 4 years I only semble.Les compressors were tried before on Line 6 multi-effects. May be expensive at first but it is solid as a tank, it's his job. I do not regret this choice. Now, the competition offers perhaps best ...

See previous opinion. A good little pedal to use as a simple analog EBS knows them.

I sold my previous pedals EBs (Overd and preamp) because ultimately it is often too transparent a fan of fortification sounds like me, but for a compressor, I did not try something else.

UTILIZATION

As always in the black series of EBS in the Simplicity is key.
OK then you can not adjust the attack or the release of more expensive compressor so it depends on what one seeks.

I use it mainly on the position "tubesim" and that's enough. The sound of my Rickenbacker is "magnified" but respected. I have not yet dug mode "MULTICOMP" but I'll do a test by pushing the threshold of the treble and lowering it on the bass. At the same time, I think MULTICOMP mode is more suited to a modern game (for example slap).

Unscrew the plate (I do not use a battery so I did not need to do often) to set the Thresholds, it's not super convenient, but ... it is supposed to do it once and for all.

SOUND QUALITY

I wanted to erase some violent attacks and make sure that the Rickenbacker better by repeating (not tried live yet). Why I'm thrilled.

I'm not a fan of low compression. I never used the compressor internal amps. For cons, I always recorded my bass DI with a compressor inlet (the "leveler" of my Motu card for example). I play very rarely slap, but the tests I made repeated slap also are conclusive. We better hear the percussive detail and low even with a full band playing relatively strong.

More importantly, it does wonders for his help in "vintage" of Rick (capacity added to the bridge pickup) for drilling in a mix repeated. Usually, as soon as I switched to this mode, lowering the tone of the bridge pickup to approach 60's feel (to quote the Kinks or the Beatles without using the damper or ropes or nets dishes), j 'I find it difficult to break compared to "normal" mode. With Multicomp, I mean really good. So, I also use the mic much more serious one on Rick. It is not as recessed as the bridge pickup. It opened my palette.

And I should also point out that it helps much input from my fuzz (Big Muff clone Tall Font Russian) to keep the grades despite saturation even pushed to the extreme.

I'm on a compressor with more complex opto, I could go further, but I also think that I did not need. I like the simplicity and the natural sound of my Rick spent in an Ampeg (I did not but the VT Bass mimics very well and is more flexible to address a real tube amp).
And I realize that I can better my speed work by stopping the game bourriner fingers, which in addition removes the "tick tick" unpleasant violent attacks of my game not very shrewd.

OVERALL OPINION

For me the combination Multicomp in tubesim + Tech 21 VT Bass Preamp is right in what I was looking for my Rickenbacker. I'm in heaven. I even stopped to touch the amp volume all the time to try to cover the guitarist who often hardly any bass on his Fender amp than me (one day maybe guitarists stop to believe that a good sound alone = a good group .. but its the end of the world might happen before).
And I even dropped a maximum limit to the point where the kick drum cover me, I still heard quite clearly even with just the neck pickup tones or zero.

In this context, I put 10/10 because to me, I hit her almost perfect (ie that respects the imperfections of the rest of the chain) ... until the next crisis PSM course (BBE Opto one?)

The ad says "an instrument that already sounds good sound even better" ... I 100% agree with this slogan. Okay so with those who say we do not notice it but it lacks dice it is cut. But for me it is the definition of a transparent compressor.

I have not tried many bass compressor pedal. Sardine Can Celmo just my guitar that does not give conclusive results on a Rick.

Compressor / Booster.

Effects not editable. Format not rackable.

Analog effect.

An input jack, an output, a standard 9V power supply input.

A red LED demonstrates the working condition of the pedal and its intensity indicates how strongly the pedal pad ... it was still seen as a better indicator of compression ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration could not be more simple: a knob for the compression ratio, a volume knob, a 3 position switch (normal, MULTICOMP, tubesim) and two in the pedal trimpot to adjust the compression ratio of bass and treble frequencies Mode MULTICOMP.

Manual clear and sufficient, and we want to find the compression is easy given the available settings (finally saw the few parameters to adjust, should not be demanding).

SOUND QUALITY

Compression is as I wanted: transparent, I put compression to 13h and 11h to the volume in Normal and roll! I never change these settings and the pedal is always enabled. It allows me to cut too big peaks in my attack, enhance harmonics, ghost notes, tapping game, etc. ... and increase my sustain while maintaining the personality and the sound of my bass.
The compression ratio is still low at its maximum (5:1), so farewell large cuts and efficient limitation of the largest peaks, and the lack of fishing settings a bit when one wants to regain his.

I use it with a Fender Precision U.S. Standard V.

It clarifies my sound without coloring it, brilliantly I must say, I can not do without it and is still active.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months. In the studio I used a MarkBass Compressore which has a different style: the lamp colors the sound, there are many more compression under foot and we have all the necessary adjustments to a pro compressor (attack, release, etc. .. .). I still prefer the Multicomp: more neutral in its treatment and yet very effective and no-brainer.

The only thing that pulls down what is a low compression ratio, too just to take one game a bit violent.

The value for money is altogether honorable, what choice I would do without hesitation.

Standard stompbox size floor pedal compressor for bass. Black case with blue and white screening. Compression/Limier sensitivity knob, Gain knob. Three-position toggle for tube/solid state/multiband compression. Active/Passive pushbutton; In and Out 14' jacks. 9V AC adapter not included.
---------------
I've played bass professionally for 44 years. I currently play in a praise band in a local church and also do studio work. I favor rock but have played just about every style, even -- shame -- disco. Favorite players include Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Tony Levin, Chris Squire, Joe Osborn, Bob Glaub and Sting.<p>

Purchased in April 2009 from Musiciansfriend. I'm a fan of Tony Levin, who uses compression as an integral part of his sound. I also wanted to add compression to even out peaks in my signal and to add some 'sparkle' and sustain in live situations. MSRP: $249; Paid $199.

The EBS MultiComp does make a big difference in my live sound, especially on a bass strung with roundwounds. It adds presence and a massive amount of sustain and allows a small bass amp to compete with three cranked guitars. Tweaking the compression amount and gain controls allows me to get more presence and gain from my amp without pushing the volume up. Once I started using it, I couldn't play without it. Three compression bands allow tonal variation, but I found the difference between solid state and multiband compression to be basically indistinguishable. However, the tube compression does add some warmth. There is no discernible signal degradation or loss of tone.

The unit eats a 9V battery in about six hours of constant use, and there is no battery compartment, so pack a screwdriver to take off the bottom plate. Although there is a pilot LED that glows less brightly when battery life is draining, I found that there's very little warning -- it's there one second and gone the next. There is a 9V CA adapter available for around $20, and I recommend getting one.

Built very well -- heavy gauge steel and a heavy toggle IN/OUT footswitch. Rubber pad on the back to stop slippage. Seems more sturdily built than Boss effects.

The EBS Bass MulitCompressor is a good value, although $200 for a single-trick stompbox might seem high. It adds presence, definition, clarity and sustain to active or passive basses.

UTILIZATION

I always use the Multi Band mode. The Tubeism and normal mode reflects the effect months for my taste. In fact on this subject, I found by removing the hull, two mini knobs (Threshold), they affect the compressive force of bass and treble and the factory setting is more approximate to this. To say that I have two and a half years to notice it, when I think the shame ...
To adjust the pedal, the COMP / LIMIT to 13h and 11h to GAIN

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with my MusicMan SUB 4 amp and Ampeg STV-3. Analog sound, sound quality is undeniable, hamonise your bass playing and the momentum that is to be made to the notes gives relief in short, a real treat.
No breath even plugged into a garland with my other pedals (chorus, wah wah, tuner) via a transformer BOSS.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 5 years and it would be difficult without it. It is in my opinion the best in its class. manufacturing quality is meeting and even though its price is 160 € new choice I would do this again!

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple configuration, a selector which selects the type of compressor, one can easily have his trspchu or trs round, a gain knob and another compression.
the manual offers several types of compression ass ffice one can easily find our happiness.

SOUND QUALITY

Scne niquel his pass or studio, I used an ibanez with ca, a musicman, a cort, there is a dir it works well, the tmion lumineu + s'lumine much to show that the limiter is starts. there is loss of power (like all the compressor), but also pushed the pedals for the distance. or even the saturated quickly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months mainte is a ser PDAL me a lot because the limiter on my ass Harker is crap, so I used the pedals prfte which certainly MUCH prs 200 but which allows for a multitude of sound for every style of music.
dja I tried the bass limiter boss in, but the compressor was based on what I am looking at departure.

if there is one other models + cheap yes I do it again trust a EBS.

Transistor analog compressor for bass.
Foot small size, but very solid and quite heavy, so stable. The metal case is at least bullet-proof! It is the size of a large pack of cigarettes, and weighs over 500g ...

It offers three modes:
1) Normal (single-band compressor transistor)
2) MB (Multiband, a compressor for bass and one for the treble. Adjustments are made by trimmers accessible by removing the bottom of the pedal)
3) Tubesim (simulates a tube compressor)

A generous footswitch controls the activation of the effect (shown by an LED)
An international three positions select the type of effect.
A mini-switch to choose between an entry for low-active or passive.
A knob for compression, another to gain.

Connections:
Input and output jack, made of excellent quality.
9V transformer for an input (I recommend using a smoothed voltage transformer and regulated, otherwise it hums, and the warranty does not cover anything if a surge of more than 9.3V is applied to Multicomp. EBS manufactures its own adapter, AD -9, available for thirty euros) It consumes very little power (10mA) so I&#39;m surprised the previous opinion on the low battery life.

The big downside to this pedal is in my access to the battery.
Indeed, to change the battery (or set the internal trim), it is necessary to remove 4 Phillips screws and remove the bottom of the pedal, highly risky operation in case of battery failure on stage ... In addition, the battery is connected to a printed circuit connector fragile son. The welds are ridiculously small! In my opinion, even with great care, we can heat the soldering iron before the 10th battery change ...

Note that the engineers who designed the power supply bad battery have thought of a way "phantom" very original: For a happy possessseurs EBS amp is the amp that sends juice to the pedal ( provided using a TRS Jack), so no more son everywhere ...

I do not have an amp EBS ... For this reason, I chose AC power, but given the price, I only give 7 because of the deplorable access to the battery, unusual in this price range.

UTILIZATION

The advantage of MULTICOMP is precisely to be built for low: Its frequency bands and its settings are pre-calibrated for that use. So: Two knobs only, quickly found her with it (for me: Tubesim mode, which in addition to efficient compression brings a certain warmth to the sound).

It provides the solution I was looking for: A good compression, no breath, no pumping ... and a bit of heat as a bonus! It allows me to give some heartfelt slap shots, as I had never ventured into this technique because it sounded so far not on my previous material ...
I feel that boosts the sound a lot: Even with very low gain levels, I have more dynamic than bypass ... And I think this pedal gives the best of herself with a gain at least a third. So never mind, I lower the volume of the amp!

Note that the LED shines stronger or weaker in proportion to the amount of compression applied by the pedal.

The manual gives some good ideas, it is neither too long nor too short.
Regret that the most demanding for the multiband mode, he almost opened the pedal and adjust it to the screwdriver (yes 2 more knobs on top of the pedal, it would have multiplied the possibilities for cheap ...) I have not tested these famous trimmers, I reserve the right to edit my opinion on that!

SOUND QUALITY

My rig is simple: Low / HF / Tuner / Comp / Amp.
The compressor is on all the time.

Indeed very suitable for what I wanted.
The "normal" seems very interesting.
Mode "multi-band" can chop more sound but more probably intended to prowess slap / bass solo in my type of game (but I&#39;ll try ...)
Mode "tubesim" suits me better (I play Rock, I&#39;m not sick lines, I just want a lot of attacks and this well)
For the record, I bought it because I was using previously compressor for guitar. Compression is a bit better in terms of attacks, but not that much. In contrast, in low frequencies, there&#39;s no picture! My micro PB gives anything else now ...

OVERALL OPINION

I acquired this pedal in September 2005 and it ages well.
The characteristic I like most is the sound that comes out! And it is good because that&#39;s what we asked (Lapalisse inside ...)
This pedal is a sure investment (I paid € 183 anyway ...) but I think the keep for a decade or two at least! It is still very expensive in my opinion for a pedal, but it has little competition.
Therefore, in this price range and pedal format, I would do this choice. Note however that the market for compressors dedicated to the bass is extremely reduced. He has not been possible, for example, to try before buying (I had to go through a shop who ordered for me) so I can not pretend to compare to other models .

But in conclusion: I wanted a good compressor pedal for my bass. It&#39;s expensive, I have not had much choice, but in the end, I have what I wanted!

Compressor pedals analog format.
By far the case is against indestructible, as the switch is shit, I had to change his APRS just having the pedals!
As pulvonium, I find the battery and the CASC rglage unworthy of a trimpot pedals of this price and EBS ...

UTILIZATION

In Normal and Tubesim is very simple: you plug, turn the two buttons and voila!
Multiband mode must rgler the internal trimpot at the rate of compression you want to apply each range frequency drives (in this serious and acute)
Once done it was royal sound! Personally, I rgl highs and lows of 2 hours of 11 am I doing compression on 3 hours (almost back!) And the gain between 9 and 10am.
9 / 10 because of inaccessible trims.

SOUND QUALITY

I love the big sound and HiFi compresssion much happiness in this bar!
Music is always even with high compression rates, and pedals add a lightweight coat heat but not much.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 years and I have chosen especially for its function Multiband.
I test pe white finger and also Carl Martin.
I got it for a good price OCCAZ 'but it is a bit expensive new.
I hsiter remake that choice without a second, for me it REPRESENTATIVES ultimate compressor.

See previous comments ...

UTILIZATION

This pedal is to use a complicated! Nothing is simple with it!
We have to do a pedal that everyone called as THE standard for compression. Certainly ... except that the use is tedious and prior to the desired compression, we have to spend time ...

SOUND QUALITY

- I never managed to get a proper compression ... I have the philosophy of the plug and play. As someone impatient, I never wanted to spent hours to solve this pedal ... and when I gave myself a good conscience to pay, would never ca. It does not compress as much as I wanted ...
- I play a Fender Jazz Bass Custom Shop and Ibanez - all in 4 strings from Jazz to Heavy, game and using the fingers from time to time, the slap and tapping.

OVERALL OPINION

- I kept a year. I thought I was using it wrong and even went back to the store for an explanation ... nothing transcendent after that famous conversation!
- The best? quite frankly ... I do not see too well ... Perhaps the size and quality. Other than that, I'm still looking ...
- No tests before buying ... yeah, I bought the benchmark!

I sold the pedal and bought myself a real compression pedal that I heard nothing but praise: Electro-Harmonix White Finger! This one compresses matter!

See previous ones opinion

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
A bb to use it ... two pots, we put the switch on and drive tube sim young ... Sets the compression is by testing and adjusting the gain ...

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?
As said prcdemment, just a small note: the diffrence between normal and tubesim is subtle, the two cows with oats when even the best lgrement tubesim (I have not test the multiband, PDAL testing in-store so, I would not disassemble to play with the trim pots)

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Not seen

I put 8 to trim accecibles only disassemble the box and the battery difficult ACCS

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
Incredible ... I test all with an Ibanez SR series on a VX 410 + HA3500 dj has sounded pretty good base, I turned the pedals and the BOUAF are hot and pr cis directly, truly amazing. In slap is a pure bomb! Disables APRS with pedals, I feel like a dry and without any personali ... Really stunning

- Which instruments do you use?
soon with my Ibanez and my homemade EDB500

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
The normal mode is fun, but the dj tubesim a little while the diffrence is not obvious

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Test store

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Ease and impressive just by plugging

the least: the trim pots and battery (but hey, I still use the area so it does not matter!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Only heads of compressors Intgr amp personally, if I heard the compressor boss and another which I can not remember the brand.

- How do you report qualitprix?
It is clear that the pedals is quite coteuse but I think a worthwhile if you want to have the sound that kills ... I would say it's worth the price just

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
I think so (I will have it within a week and I test is to be sr I made the right choice, I think I did it!

compressor / limiter pedal format,
Three "Normal, multiband or two tubesim knob 1 for compressor / limiter and a gain for

UTILIZATION

Pedal childishly simple connecting a small adjustment and it works FORT.

SOUND QUALITY

The compressor, that's why I buy, is very efficient and accurate input and the switch really changes in the frequencies

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days and I believe that we go for a love story for several years.
c as its price, even if not That a pedal, not least because of transformer provided the polarities are reversed.

Everything has been said.

It's "plug and play, almost. Those who want something full customizable not like those who like me prefers to press the switch and have the most efficient compressor market (well, I exaggerate a little, I have not tested all) will be happy!

It's a big box super solid.

UTILIZATION

Two knobs, regularly at noon for me (comp and gain). As it was said, headroom and very important to remain cool.

I'm still "tubesim" MULTICOMP mode setting is already too much for me that really wanted a compressor plug and play, but for those who want a personal setting, this method is very effective.

SOUND QUALITY

Perfect: no wind, efficient, sound is very compressed, means "nothing" more than the desired effect. It boosts you into the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

Since I have it, it does not leave my pedalboard, it is plugged in permance. I can not imagine her without me, it's simple.

And obviously, I'm not alone!

Some find it expensive: it's made in Europe to start, and then the super good stuff. Reference since it was released. It is deserved!

It is a compressor pedal for bass brand EBS.
No editing on computer, it is a analog pedal.
Level connections, an input jack, a jack and an input osrtie PSU type Boss.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple and the manual is very clear.
The only negative point, it is trimpots that allow adjustment of the pad on the bass and treble in multiband. They work very well, but we must open the pedal to get there.
Otherwise there is a switch to select the input type: active or passive, threshold and a knob a knob volume.
There is also a switch to select the type of compression, tubesim, normal or multiband.
The settings are effective and accurate.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is very good job and does not color the sound at all, unless it was put in tubesim.
I use it with different basses in 4 or 5 string equipped with Delano and falling into a GK 700-RB II.
Whether mild or strong, the compression is very effective and offers a beautiful palette of sound.


OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1yr and a half, I tried to compress DBX rack style, and I thought it was to set galley. The MULTICOMP is much simpler and optimized for bass.
What I like least is access to trimpot that i is a bit difficult, but once set it does not move.
Me I only open during the first month.
Upgrade its nothing to say, it's EBS.
I would do this choice without hesitation. I do not like to take my head again with cuts that include 50 buttons.

Compressor in pedal format, with a Knob for compression, a Knob for gain and a 3 position switch (Tubesim Multi Band and Normal).

The pedal is all metal, super strong.

On the side, a switch adjusts the input gain as they played with a low active or passive. Note that the connectors jacks support the standard jacks and stereo jacks for supplying the pedal from one amplifier head EBS.

UTILIZATION

Very simple settings, the sound is right there. A real beast!

SOUND QUALITY

I play primarily on JB active and amps that I found where I play (and they are all too rarely or Ampeg BSE). Compression is always effective. I prefer the way Tubesim Multi Band mode.

It's simple: if I take along a pedal, is it

OVERALL OPINION

A year and a half of loyal service, low battery consumption when I am not taking my PSU . In this connection, the battery is difficult to access as necessary to remove the bottom plate of the pedal fixed by 4 screws.

I tried several pedals (Sardine Can, MXR ...) before choosing one. Good value for money. I would do this election closed eyes (and ears wide open)!

Edit of 25/11/2010:
I tested several amp heads in store, and I got an EBS HD350. The latter includes the famous compressor brand!

It is a "compressor", thus serves to compress the signal to make it more powerful or more or "net". This is analog (the top in my opinion!). It is specific to the bass. The metal case is indestructible (I have not tested it by passing it under a car ...). Say that before the fart must be really turned on!

Mine was among the first in a series of EBS. At the time unknown, it would be very expensive, but was already talking about them. I had to be the first to have it in France ...

UTILIZATION

The config is clear, I never used the manual (there is two or three buttons). The switch on the side ... Never understood the utility?

Once plugged in, do not use the bypass: the click is horribly noisy!

SOUND QUALITY

For sound: great for super well balanced, fine, a delight in terms of understanding. It is not super big oozing understanding. Say when you want slapper, even with a low average, the triggers and there: Pwouingggggg!

The only drawback is the quality: so useful and discreet that you end up putting all the time. It loses its interest because its built-in, he has no interest in a foot pedal rather than a compressor built into the gear ... Ideally I would have been the same integrated rack! For there he finds all its interest ...

Second point: for a good bass player (on his precise) with a good bass, it is not used much because it will not bring any more "sound" per se ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it for quite a few years before selling it (wrong way). I sometimes regret it because it was really well designed and easy to handle.
Defects:
- The switch is super noisy (avoid in acoustics during the song you would hear a big "click" beating down the atmosphere! For rock or punck no worries ...
- Too quiet sometimes ...
- Too expensive (for what it is) and on occasion! So it is better to move to the new one it seems ...
(You can find better for less now ...)
- The dial on the side, which brought nothing very obvious in the sound ...
- The internal trim supposed to adjust the sound as desired ... infeasible except if you're an electronics!

Qualifications:
- Strong + + +
- Sound quality Extra!
- Manufacture Swedish / prestige brand
- Very good resale secondhand ...

Today: very good 10 years ago, I found that there are other better and cheaper products that have almost the same quality ...

The quality of sound is really excellent. the sound of the bass it is magnificent without the dnatur. There is renewed heat when you press the button.
I use a musicman stingray plugged into an amp ashdown. I use both on stage and in the studio. The effect can best get out of the mix and adds a bit more presence.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year.
The pros: all (quality of sound / simplicity of use)
The - I do not see
The report price is honnte quality under the quality of the hardware ... there are cheaper, it said ... but you should know what you want!
I would do it without hesitating choice.

A compressor is elementary for bass players ...
In EBS, the MULTI COMP is a reference back more than a decade, still niche in the market.
A simple system that allows a choice between Limit and compressor and allowing to use both simultaneously.
A balance, a gain, three compression modes (Standard, multiband simulation lamps) and a True Bypass are made available to the user.
Simple and cruelly effective.

UTILIZATION

At one time I was 4 EBS pedals: the octave, envelope, distortion (and yes ...) and famous compressor.
In this collection, I have kept the Multi comp and the envelope.
I use a little envelope (no more), cons by my compressor is always active on my pedal board.
My settings have not changed since 2001!
I do not limit it.

SOUND QUALITY

My signal is stabilized more effectively. The compression is there while remaining transparent. I hate that sound compression and twist the signal. Here is the class.

OVERALL OPINION

I said everything I believed to be buried with this pedal. I gained when I worked at PIGALLE, so I had time to try anything at the time.
The budget is reasonable for its good value

Compressor pedal with 3 compression modes.
A switch and two settings: gain and compression.
Possibility to adjust the input level depending on the instrument's electronic device (passive or active).
I own the first model without true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Configuration could not be more simple and so much the better deal because a compressor is never simple, especially in emergency live.

SOUND QUALITY

Pedal very useful to me for passive instruments:

- Provides the outline notes
- Leveling attacks
- Gives a headroom avoids pushing the amp

I use it mainly with a Fender P Bass to boost my sound on stage and clarify the attacks. In this case the pedal is pressed continuously. My preferred mode is the mode MULTICOMP (compression separate bass and treble).
Settings: noon for the gain and compression ratio (to vary the compression ratio depending on situation + or - 10 min.

Can serve as a boost for a solo in occasional use (the headroom is important).



OVERALL OPINION

I have been using about 5 years and I can say that the case is solid and reassuring effect and very effective in this price range around 100 €. Course for using more sophisticated compressors and sometimes much more expensive (DBX 160, Chandler germanium or other) it has its limits even at this level settings but is still more convenient pedal on stage unless to have a technician assigned.
Are only real fault is a significant consumption which requires connection to an external power supply.
the price / quality ratio seems very correct and I would do this choice without hesitation. Very good pedal
