«  It does its job without being noticed »

It is an optical compressor pedal format. 4 knobs to adjust gain, level, compression and attack. The switch to trigger the effect is a bit light, but overall the pedal is in good order. Power is supplied by a 9V battery or a power supply type boss.

UTILIZATION

Not being familiar with compressors, I put a little time to understand the action of each volume pot. Especially since the effect does not include directly. I use this pedal to boost the clean sound of my Vox AC15, the settings are accurate and have a real impact on the sound.

SOUND QUALITY

The compression is very effective. It is discrete, does not distort the original signal too. Warning pedal blows when you push the compression to 3 / 4.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal is perfect for my use. The effect is not spectacular but when it is bypassed, the lack is glaring. For that alone he deserves a good grade!
