«  Effective and transparent »

Fully analog MXR size, compact.

UTILIZATION

For a novice compression (like me to purchase) it may seem complicated to parameterize, it must be documented on the principles of compression and for different pots, under penalty of not finding the settings that suit us, it takes a little time, it is not plug and play but it's worth every penny.
The LED indicator helps a lot setting input gain

SOUND QUALITY

I do not use it as an effect but as a treatment for my sound.
This comp is very transparent, and does not blow at all.
The compression is very effective and very discreet, no "pumping".
I use to homogenize my sound, to bring a little more punch (it does not qualify me prevents my fingers) and to play with maximum dynamics without a huge increase in volume.
Another good point, it is true bypass.

OVERALL OPINION

It is scratched on my pedalboard since its purchase and enclanché permanently.
Certe it is not the easiest to parameterize the time but soon pays more and gives us a little more about when to sound processing.
I have not tried other than the comp before but it has the characteristics of a unit raquable pedal format so cool.
Ok it is a bit expensive, but again MXR pedal offers a reliable, sturdy and a great musicality.
I think I would do this choice without hesitation
