All user reviews for the Behringer Compressor Sustainer CS100

This is a copy of the Boss CS-3.
Everything is plastic, but it looks pretty solid, the knobs on the other hand are quite cheap and sensitive enough. A small handyman should be able to remedy that.
The rest is the usual features: level, tone, attack, sustain.

USE

Once we understand how a compressor works, it's okay.

SOUND QUALITY

So, I am against what I have read here as well as on other sites ... I find frankly successful effect. He whines ?? not only, it is not the case for the pedal that I have in my possession, but in addition, I note that the CS-3 also generates a lot of feedback and breath. The compressor is a rather subtle pedal that adds a little color to a rhythm or solo. Turn down the attack and sustain by increasing the tone, and you get the jingle jangle feature Byrds now mount the attack and sustain, and with a little chorus and a delay, you have the police, lower the tone and you will have a good mellow sound for jazz. I have never seen a compressor pedal be used with any donf, do not believe we will get endless sustain or attacks worthy of slap bass. I would say for trying Behringer Boss and the last is perhaps more subtle, which I had already noticed on the phaser.

NOTICE GLOBAL

A pedal that does what it is asked to do. At that price, do not dream either, it does not last forever. Still, sound qualities are perfectly level Boss, so it's in materials that the difference lies.
I do not understand the cabal against these pedals that allow the beginner to try lots of effects and confirmed to test certain sounds. For those who are not sure yet a compressor improves their sound, I advise them cete pedal for the time makes me good service. When she let go, I will opt for a more solid stuff, but for now, I have nothing to complain about.

The characteristics are classic: level, tone, Attac, sustain.
A plastic shell, but no problems if we do not make the turns stadiums this summer ... In a home studio or club jams and repetition, ie, is perfect!
The battery replacement system is against null in void! It must be very clever or lucky to get there once.

USE

The rglages are simple oprer. In fact just know what good is a Compressor / Sustainer to obtain interesting sounds, not like some prcdents testers espraient a miracle with their guitars two balls pushing the bottom Sustain knob (Big Error beginner)! Working in finesse, casseroles funk, pop arpges or heavy rhythmic guitar that are easy obtenir.Une not good natural sustain will not see its possibilities amliores by the p dale.Sinon with saturation and blow mdiator adquate sustain will be boost.

Everything is almost possible, but the quality of the potentiometers discourages finesse precisely: mandatory fe fingers!

SOUND QUALITY

The good must be very honest!
Stop the prejudices on Berhinger and pedals supposedly zero.
What makes this compressor is the same Boss has to offer. Inherently evil compressor maitris dnature the sound of the instrument, so start with softs rglages and you tell me the news ... the sound quality is tural and with my guitars ... it sounds!
on the other hand I agree to fear a rendering down after a few years of use, due to the quality of welds and connectors ...
The future will tell but for now RAS.

NOTICE GLOBAL

The price quality ratio is parfait.Merci exploitation of Chinese small hands !!!
The Boss has a finish and branding (!) But it's expensive incomparable pay.
I associate this pedal with a strat, a Peavey Classic 30 for clean sounds funky trend and casseroles, and it is a rgal! Into overdrive with an Epiphone LP, chorus Santanesques are well rendered (aah ... sustain!). For greasy heavy-rock, my LP or my shoulders Ibz JS100 by distortion (boss) or OD (procorat) and compressor, fill me with ease.

To sum good product, but which is not intended for snobs ... or musicos very rich!

Well, my little wife gave me for Christmas then:
it's a compressor! I'm not used to this kind of effect (let alone pedal so I can not compare with other existing models.
There are four knobs: Volume, Tone, Attack and Sustain.
the former as the name implies, it serves to adjust the volume, the second the "Tone" (more one turns right and is no more acute) the third and fourth are the ones more specific to the compressor. These settings, I advise not to abuse in prison have are too confused, I do not play in saturated (with a MT2) this pedal gave me one more sound in terms of not pushing SETTINGS attack and sustain.
in terms of build quality, I'd say it's fine but the pedals boss Saan equal. those where it will avoid the all too often make them fall or jump in with both feet in the heat of the moment otherwise it's grinding to ensure

UTILIZATION

Config very simple, not read the manual but it is in English!

SOUND QUALITY

As already said I do not play in cam'apporte saturated and a little more.

OVERALL OPINION

Good value

It's supposed to be a compressuer sustainer.
It numrique modlisation.
It is a PDAL, so no preset.

UTILIZATION

Config: see Opinion Previous.
Ok ease: it is a pedals, turn the knobs, no need to book.

SOUND QUALITY

The bt hurts. I tried this 2 times pedals. The first model was an awful buzz. Good for behringer, exchange standard in the week by a shop and low winds.
The compressor is not great and sustain the button background is obtained an amount of noise standard without Russia to prolong the sound. I have an old ibanez ua300. The sound was a compressor, sustain etc. ...

OVERALL OPINION

This would be a gift for my first, who also plays the guitar, and wanted to spend his whole round has its jazz sound with sustain. THE FIRST pedals did not work (HNAURME buzz. APRS exchange standard, I tried for two weeks to find an adjustable ok before my first run. And frankly, I did not come. What I do not understand is that the limit aa better compressor in the bass vamp! I have nothing against Behringer, I FCB1010 and bass vamp and they are ok, but the is a failure.

SOUND QUALITY

D'APRS many, this would sound better pedals than the original (the Boss). Test but not the CS-3 ...

In any case, it is doing its job. It is completely transparent, not corrupt the sound of the guitar. What is important dj.

It introduces almost no breath to the extent we push not rglages bottom.

In short, it sounds great

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, it is excellent. Probably the best quality price we could find. It does not DGRAD the sound of the guitar, does not produce more breath than the average. This is a compressor that sounds modern in that it does not color the original sound and does not own a personality (like the MXR Dyna Comp for example). The effect of compression is transparent and can be lightweight as pronounced trs.
I use it coupled with my Dyna Comp, I get sounds nice ...

An excellent choice, including guitarists confirmed. Only the strength of the hull may put off some long-term. But the price if there are breaks after some time, it can be without pay another problem ...

The CS100 is a 100% analog compressor.

SOUND QUALITY

I am not a specialist in compressors. This is also my first compressor pedals format (I never used the compressor of my multi-effects).

First, the pedals do not dnature the sound of my Start Plus customizes EMG DG20. Dj is a trs good point!
Then the breath is absent as long as one does not grow too much SETTING THE sustain a patient (donf what!).

This now on her same compression, the effect can be both discreet while increasing sustain and be more pressed for casseroles Funky. But never means a pumping effect (less than everything possible donf!).
For sounds clear is nickel. For distos, it allows for a cleaner without eating dynamics.

OVERALL OPINION

I use only a few days, but I'm dj conquered.

This is definitely the compressor at the best value quality price now.
My CS100, I pay only 19. Try to find as good for less!
Moreover, there seems to be a copy of the Boss CS-3, but better!

This pedals is totally transparent and should probably many people.
This is an excellent deal. The only complaint is the quality manufacturing gnrale:
The plastic seems sturdy, but the Systm Opening the battery will not hold 10 years. In my opinion, it is better to feed externally.
In addition, the knobs do not all have the same Resistors, giving a ct a little toy.
But even if the worst pedals that lasts me 3 or 4 years, this price I would buy another without hsiter given the sound quality ...

Classic pedal ... the only regret is the plastic case but ...

UTILIZATION

Ba should not have been big schools ... you turn and you listen!
However, to maintain its own avoid extreme settings (to sustain such donf!)

SOUND QUALITY

I do not give an opinion on the use in clean (not my thing)
In the end saturated with the sound settings is correct, the pedal is a plus!
I use it with extreme settings, since my goal is to find a sound dirty but precise (gender Legion Of The Damned ...). My palm mute are bold and stand out from the agreements mix ...

PS: Compression is very vintage with "correct settings"

OVERALL OPINION

Ba here I discovered a little world of effects and this pedal is perfect for an amateur ...
If you want to do more pro then opt for a rack or a mxr!
