    Indispensable

    EBS MultiCompPublished on 03/11/11 at 02:10
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    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!

    Versatile compressor

    EBS MultiCompPublished on 10/05/10 at 05:52
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    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

    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.

    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!

    but expensive!

    EBS MultiCompPublished on 10/05/10 at 15:02
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    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?

    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 ...

    UTILIZATION

    not know if we use a compressor limited
    Light manual
    single point a little heavy, you must remove the back of the pedal to access the trim adjustment for multiband mode for me I use in this mode included in my guitar rack through a GCX and I found my setting since I've never dismantle
    swicth mode passive
    Comp / limit almost fully
    3h

    SOUND QUALITY

    gain effect that sounds terrible even with no breath of wild settings
    use with a guitar right after the wah and before Oc-2
    completely transparent with respect to the original signal
    I had a boss cs-2, cs-3, the opto aphex Alesis 3630 Rack Rocktron rack (although a reference) is this one buries them all for me
    matter of taste perhaps
    to me it sounds like I want nirvana


    OVERALL OPINION

    Approx 3 years for use with guitar (electric and acoustic)
    is one of the indispensable and irreplaceable elements of my set
    boss cs-2, cs-3, the opto aphex Alesis 3630 Rack Rocktron rack (although a reference) and exit the other is that version pedal
    if I again need a second compressor, it's clear I will redeem

    After it is true that it is cheap but good quality and better dosh to put the price one time purchases to 50 without ever being satisfied how
    I'm in love thump

    Excellent

    EBS MultiCompPublished on 10/20/10 at 07:46
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    a pretty basic pedal effect, as often with BSE, but the key is l.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration:
    a switch for slectionner 3 types of compression (simulated tube ... etc.)
    a potentiomtre to assay the level of compression
    potentiomtre to assay a gain
    alummer a button or cut (in "true bypass)
    all in a very strong case in metal.

    SOUND 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.

    This is a compressor for low active and passive but also works very well for guitar.
    Analog pedal, true-bypass.
    A threshold, volume, three modes.

    UTILIZATION

    Compression easiest to use I know.
    Can also act as a booster. The effect is perfect

    SOUND QUALITY

    very clear, no breath.
    I use it with my bass and my guitar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 months.
    Before I had the previous model that was blowing, it is perfect.
    The price / quality ratio is excellent.

    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

    - 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
