Compressor, ancestor of the modern Black Finger, but without the lights.
Compltement analog, 70's EHX Casing: all aluminum, just big enough and simple!
A jack in, jack out, a mini-jack for power (can also be done by 9V battery). There's also a switch "Off" on it to cut power and prserver the battery without removing the plug from the input.
Mine takes a few seconds turn on like a light amplifier ... Strange.

UTILIZATION

Three pots: Volume, Sustain, and Tone. RULES The volume output level, sustain the compression ratio and the tone tonality. In fact it's like a Big Muff but without distortion. Very easy to use, capable of a large output level!

SOUND QUALITY

Well then, sound quality level ... A large default: It blows. But then a really blows! With compression bottom is like a day of tempt out, nothing to do with a Dynacomp which remain within reasonable ... Anyway.
Compression is trs musical thanks the Tone you can easily sculpt the sound. The color is trs enjoyable, and with the breath has given a lo-fi ct enough INTERESTED (play the intro to Under the Bridge with for example is fun!)
Finally, his breath is both a default and a quality ...

OVERALL OPINION

I found in my basement, y'avait wire soldered the indoor, fast aa t rgl.
I love the sound of the pedals, extremely type ... The problem is that the coup is not able to do something else. It's more a kind of filter to sound like a washing machine 4 tracks.
The PDAL is plutt rare, not even n'tait REFERENCE on this site ... The fact qu'EHX produce another pedals under this name must be for something.
I keep it, because it is INTERESTED, but it's more a collection than anything else.
