Compressor Lamps

-2 12AX7, photocell electric compressor

-5 Knobs: COMPRESS (compression) LAMP / LED (switch to select the type of compression); sqsh / NORM (attack time), PRE-GAIN (adjusts the signal), post-gain (volume)

Diode d -1 tmoin erglage compression

-1 Activation switch on / off

-No edition of sounds (no memory)

-Fairly bulky compared to effects pedals that we are used (must accommodate two lamps (also trs being protected well), this explains that.

I do not put that 8 because the on / off foot dsagrable is frankly, hard dclencher made a big "clong", but the pots are of quality.

The wire of the supply is ridiculously fragile, but it's also ... 12 V / 1 ampre and works.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is relatively simple though gnrale labore enough for a compressor, five pots of rglage seems a lot to beginners, but closer examination they each have a function trs pr precise.

The manual is insignificant, a small piece of paper at the bottom of the box and dbrouille you with a.

SOUND QUALITY

Compression is effective and beautifully colored particulirement by the lamps must be said that ... two pedals in one 12AX7 has almost oversized.

Once found the right one rgal rglage is no need to touch it except to the studio, but APRS me it is too noisy for this purpose is the stuff of scne.

Attention, proper rglage is the limit of breath, not easy to find.

I bought it because I n'tais not satisfied with the compressor too discreet for my DB ROLAND 900 and I admit that there is no picture ... the big bass sound is expected in the temp Rant the ridges.

I think it can equally well be used with other amplified instruments because it provides a "prsence" indisputable.

In short it is more than a good job, but 170 we expected no less when same!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, but left twice in default for SAV production ... I confess I n'tais not used to with Electro Harmonix and d ... lais back way too long ...

Since he oprationnel confess that I can not do without it as it boosts its presence in my sound, I use the output of a Sansamp Bass Driver and these two effects alone than enough to get a round and warm from of any prs little stuff.
