«  The compressor for Dummies, and sounds »

Published on 12/22/13 at 10:31
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!
