(Originally written by crrcrr/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Bass compressor pedal which can also be used as 2-band EQ (bass/treble).
TS jack input and output.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use although I recommend you to avoid extreme settings otherwise the sound will be awful.
EDIT after 3 years: As soon as you process your sound with this pedal you get either noise or ultra-sharp high frequencies or a muddy low-end!!!
SOUND QUALITY
It's nice as a compressor but be careful with the Comp button because it can generate unpleasant noise and hiss.
The EQ can also be criticized: if you boost the high end the sound becomes piercing and if you boost the low end it becomes dull.

As a conclusion: Don't overuse good things! Don't make extreme settings to avoid altering your sound excessively.
NB after 3 years: Fortunately I couldn't compare it at the time.
OVERALL OPINION
It's my first compressor. It's rather nice and easy to use. The sound doesn't really convince me, and I don't think this pedal will be a great match with every bass guitar. So try it before making any decisions and buy it if you like sweet but present compression like me.
Edit after 3 years: This pedal is bullshit. The compression effect isn't effective and if you really want to limit the dynamics... you'll generate noise. It's the same thing with the EQ: High settings will give an irritating sound! After all I'm not surprised that this product is discontinued.
Avoid it (especially if you know anything better).

This is a compressor pedal and 2-band EQ
UTILIZATION
The configuration is fairly simple 4-button switch
find a sound depends on what one seeks the eq and very accessible and very well balanced natural
but the compressor and a different kettle of fish
SOUND QUALITY
The eq as I said previously and very effective but relatively mild which allows not to abuse this eq. the level gives a boost that can recover useful.
the compressor and a horror it is unusable because of the unbearable blows it blows a 12 already and it is not effective it can be more convenient for the tapping has provided you have a noise gate and not a slap good rendering

OVERALL OPINION
I am quite disappointed they lent me this pedal until my order MULTICOMP EBS
and I think for the price of the beast is a bit of foutage mouth of the breath of barbaric that we obtain and the compressor is bad Besides, it surprises me because the brand has the same reputation. it is possible that I fell on a sheep galleuse because the record is really bad (except the 2 band eq but 225euro leq 2 band in the ass it hurts) ...
