All user reviews for the BBE Opto Stomp

One type of effect: it is a compressor. Format pedal, analog input and output connectors jack, 9V supply "standard" size Boss 9V center negative format). Solid metal housing, heavy and sturdy kind that inspires confidence.

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use, since a single dose knob compression ratio. I think (but I'm not sure) it sets the threshold, the other parameters of the compression (ratio, attack, release) being fixed.
The second knob controls the output volume to compensate for the effect of gain or loss of volume due to compression.

The small switch -15 db is supposed to adjust the input gain at low volume high output, but I let 0dB even with my low level of gross output and the machine does not move.

SOUND QUALITY

Super efficient, from subtle to very pronounced but while keeping a nice hyper transparency bass. No serious or excessive loss of color, it is typically due to be bought, rule 30 seconds and is then allowed on all the time without ever touching it.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my second or third compressor after disappointments in terms of inappropriate sound coloration. This one is super simple to set up (easier you die), and for at least 5 or 6 years that I have, it has never left my pedal board. I could remove the switch is off, which is useless since it is permanently

A choice to advise followers compressor on continuously at the beginning or end of the string in a pedal, the "set and forget" type. A great value!

Optical compressor for guitar and bass in a metal case.
Two settings, and a volume threshold (compression level)
9V power supply by plaice (included) or transformer, the battery door is open, nothing to unscrew. In short, we do little easier.
I have the new version without mitigation mini switch (see photo)

UTILIZATION

No need for manual, adjusting the volume and assayed compression to get the desired sound.

SOUND QUALITY

Special use with my PB, this pedal is fully compliant with the sound of my bass, it provides no coloration. The setting is very gradual, allowing to easily find the desired compression. They range from a few very light compression to "pompous". Personally this is between 13h and 14h that I find most effective while remaining unobtrusive. The sound is more homogeneous, it is more definition and now I can attack without problem. Whatsoever on the finger, the mediator or slap it is super efficient.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few weeks, already tried in repeats. Nothing to say that's exactly what I expected, this pedal allows for swift game while keeping the definition (it does not replace the mastery of his instrument).
I put him 10/10, knowing what I was looking like effect, there are compressor that colors the sound (EHX Black Finger) but I have my amp for that.
Only gripe (you need a well) the blinding blue LED.

Compression is very simple: volume, compression, and a switch for removing 10db for active instruments, for example.
It's digital, with the famous circuit in a pedal BBE rack.

UTILIZATION

Not very complicated to use, there are 2 knobs! We find very quickly the balance compression / volume and hop, go!

SOUND QUALITY

It is a very good compression, in my opinion, but I use it with a bass. It is very clear, no distortion or alteration of sound. I would have loved a combined limit, but that's a desire to bassist. It plays its role perfectly, no breath, no matter what the power supply (or battery (9V type boss).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, it is 'on' time. I sent in a passive bass, which allows me to have an interesting signal in the other pedals behind (I boost my sound) in output rack in the entrance I 'active' on my amp, thanks it. Manufacturing is impeccable, it's tough. It is quite expensive but it holds up. In fact, it is the opinion on the rack at BBE equivalent that convinced me to buy it. To be objective, we should try to do that one of my guitar, whether it is as good with a guitar. Voila

Optical compression format pedals, chassis mtallique trs robust and look nice.

UTILIZATION

2 knobs, one can not get any easier for those who are lost in the jungle of rglages compressor rack ...

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with passive basses (Fender Precision and Jazzbass), and this little fact pedals extremely good job. Trs transparent, it does not blow and do not stain at all the original sound ... quieter and efficient, the industry and it is played.

OVERALL OPINION

Good quality price (especially used), it has little direct competition of equivalents (for low anyway). Having hsit Multicomp with BSE (a little more 'complex' and more expensive), I do not regret my purchase at all ...

Compression for bass pedals. Optical technology, the name of o.

Very simple: two knobs (volume and copression), a attnateur for users of low-active. An input and output jack.

MODEL based on a rack in the same brand.

Lumire beautiful clear blue feet.

UTILIZATION

Simpler than a you die! Quickly found its DSIR.

Personally it is permanently connected between my Squier Precision (Seymour Duncan when even ...) and my amp Ashdown mag 300. I rgl lgre compression that makes me better and give out the mdiums punch and sustain my fingers that both games mdiator.

The manual is a super lightweight but even nophyte can use a simple fact.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent: quite neutral compression. It respects the sound of the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks to replace a compressor rack Boss. I am delighted. It is adjustable and easy to use.

Compressor pedals format.

Sturdy metal casing.

No gadgets. Beefy knobs and switch: a knob to knob volumeet a compression ratio. A switch to activate a-15dB pad for use with an active instrument without the mush.

comes with power supply 'sector 9V included in the price (nice).

Simple, solid nickel finishes, trs staisfaisant.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use (I know properly use a compressor so long with only one knob compression ratio is very easy).

I RULES volume control at maximum compression and between 3 and 6 depending on the circumstances. It's been a good job trs.

No manual with the one I bought (not needed).

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with an active bass.

my config is simple: low> Compressor> pre-amp> out (to mixer or sound card as if I live or at home).

As I play most often without amp, I wanted a compressor to balance my sound because I just prampli with a snapping sound too. With the compressor I rcupre the bottom and my attacks are nice. I feel more comfortable to play with than without when I play without amp ..

I used live at home and for models without concern, I am satisfied with TRS.

He respects compltement the sound of my bass.

I do not breath because I know with the rgler.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 days but I did a live DJ and lots of recordings.

This is a good unfussy product that does its job. A bit expensive for pedals but cheaper than its competitors.

Ten times better than the Boss CS-3 in my exprience (not breathing when is equals.

It amliore my sound, I'll use it often.

Optical compression (it falls into the wrong CATEGORY AudioFanzine)

An input, output, a gain knob, a knob compression pad 0/-15dB, between a power supply (standard 9V type boss) - and one could ... board .. sea. c. of the blue LED. (Pissed!)

Boss height format, fairly flat but wide enough (about 1.5 times Boss)

Solid construction and enjoyable

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple, it can not be easier to use compression.

SOUND QUALITY

Trs good little pedals compression, transparent and respectful of his bass. No breath inhrent the pedals. True bypass.

Lets just before the attack signal, which is without much problem but can live recording be boring without limiting the peaks slap in particular.

We will trslgre compression, which means no or only a little in the mix, a pumping well audible on the very end of the course knob. Even with so little rglages possible, we have choices INTERESTED. Trs convincing in this range.

OVERALL OPINION

Lack of advance for rglages tripatouilleurs sound.

Simple to use, friendly sound, not too CHRE: good buy for those who want a comp 'pre and post effects without taking the head.

Optical compressor for guitar and bass.

very simple at the controls: volume and level of compression. Note 0dB/-15dB an attenuator, in push-pull (which may not result practice).

The case is of solid construction is built to last and deposit. It is the length of a housing boss and a half times that same box. In short it does not take place on a pedal board!

UTILIZATION

Two buttons, a switch mitigation, an interrupt on / off: simple, robust and effective. what I was looking for a compressor. I did not want to have to take in tons of tweaks to get somewhere.
For those who want to customize their compression settings with attack, release, gain, go your way ...

SOUND QUALITY

The optical compressor is completely transparent, does not cut the bass (useful for bass guitars), and does not color the sound. It is the opposite of the EHX black finger, for example, which can distort the sound so nice, but that adds too much wind for me.
The novice will think that this effect is not used much, given that a priori its presence does not feel. But just cut it for 5 minutes to feel that something is missing ...

It does its job and nice way.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 week, 2 + group repeated use in a home studio.

Like its transparency, its compliance, the fact that we feel something is missing in her when not activated, its simplicity, robustness, its price (bought OCCAZ).

I put 9 because I feel that at one time or another, I will probably miss one more knob to adjust the form of compression. But for now this is not the case! I am very happy.

edit after three put to use: so stoked, transparent and effective, it really fills his role, and is perfect for me.
