Guyatone pedals compression box Ps103 Driving

Analog, antique, inside there is a metal version of PDO can. We see that the conception date, the components are gs.

The case is robust trs, to break a'll have to go even when ...

1 between an output.

Small teachers Points:

1 - CHAC battery is the big mess, it is endless dvisser the 4 screws and then fight with ue Paisse layer of foam that served to isolate the era ... say it! lol

But no power supply! (I told him then adding an even me).

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple there are two knobs. One is ddi volume, the other compression.

It sounds in any case so no worries.

SOUND QUALITY

I found this excellent compressor.

It provides an average compression rate, it is between a dod 280 (I had the opportunity to try a clone version) and a boss cs3 read that compresses much.

She knows how to do as well as discrte Submitted.

But let's say it is limited by high rates of, for example I liked to a cs3 APRS a wah. It removed all traces of saturation here is not the case.

In any case it has a small color vintage dsagrable not, I love to clean the addition when my amp is a low rgime it helps to find the natural compression of the lamps ...
I can not speak of the breath it produces a possde I ns2 and I have no concern for what the cot.

OVERALL OPINION

Trs a good compression pedals that has its characters.

The snag is important note before:

The fact that it does not offer the original power supply. (Something that I have even add me.)

The accsa the battery (and more!) Which is not really ais.

But it's the vintage that's why.
Assets:

Vintage color precisely.
Discrtion transparency and reasonable.

This is a pretty basic compressor. It actually functions well as a limiter, though there is some flattening of dynamics on the lower end. It is an analog compressor. There are the simple 1/4" input and output and an adapter for a power supply, though my used version did not have a power supply, so I had to daisy chain it from my boss tuner. It cannot be edited with Computers, is not MIDI-capable, and isn't rackable.

UTILIZATION

I think that the effects editing couldn't be much easier, if it is a bit limited (no pun intended!). The setup is pretty simple. There are two knobs, one for output and one for threshold. The output controls the overall volume, and threshold sets the limit for where the effects starts to compress. This can make the pedal function as a limiter as well as be a great sustainer. There isn't much really in terms of variety though, as there are only the two knobs.

SOUND QUALITY

I've played compressors that I've liked a bit more. However, they were way more than I paid for this one. I think that if you need a compressor in a pinch, this thing is solid. It's a pretty good compressor if you need it for leads, just don't expect to get much extra volume out of it as it's noisy at higher volumes. Even when you match the natural volume you get a bit too much noise for my liking. I won't be gigging with this unless another compressor I have breaks.

OVERALL OPINION

I liked the price of this pedal the best, honestly. It was also easy to adjust on the fly with only the two knobs. However, the sound quality wasn't my favorite. It was neither the worst or the best I'd ever heard. I would say that even though for the price I paid it was ok, I can't really recommend it, just because there are so many better ones floating around out there. Most likely you can find a better one for a similar price.
