bouns83 « The effectiveness discreetly »
Published on 08/25/13 at 02:02Format pedal, compact, a knob for the entry level, one for the output level, one for the attack time (the time the compressor takes to process the signal) and one for the release (time it takes to return to an uncompressed). A ratio knob to adjust the compression ratio. A true bypass. Oh yeah, a system handy LED to observe in real time the effect of compression, and the action of different settings.
UTILIZATION
The LED system is useful when starting in the field of compression, but it is better to look at a few basic principles to know in which direction to work (the English-instruction-in is simple, succinct, but one sided little if one starts). The action is effective pots.
SOUND QUALITY
Do not expect a radical change in his sound, it's not an effects pedal by the shade you work, the more we have to do a transparent tool, which distorts no sound, it does not mean it is not effective. Ratio between 4 and 8 to 12 attack and release it smooths subtly sound leveling, and overall we get a cleaner sound. Everything is possible: soften or sharpen the attack of notes, compress more or less a series of notes, you can also use it as a limiter: higher + time + fast attack and release ratios. I also use it to boost my sound a little (determination of imput and output)
OVERALL OPINION
I used for a little less than a year, at first I was a little skeptical because of its transparency, and I do that served to boost my sound, and I looked there is little on principles of compression and I perceive the effectiveness of the compressor, the nuances it brings me are much more noticeable. This is in my opinion a very good tool to pedal format. I hesitated with markbass, but the format of this one was deterrent (as well as its power supply 12 volts), and I think for the novice mxr is more affordable. Whoever seeks a silent compressor, transparent and efficient, respectful of what you call it, there's something for those who seek a compressor that plays the sound should look elsewhere. At first I recommend it!
