All user reviews for the Ibanez CP10 Compressor Sustainer

Compressor / Sustainer, 3 settings: Attack, Sustain, Level
The jacks and DC are on top of the pedal, not always very convenient, the door is in the mechanism of the switch.
The creature is strong, the mechanism of the switch is a little plastoc but he never gave me.

UTILIZATION

Do not expect to use this pedal as a compressor sustainer OR, at least that's my opinion.
The fact is that it gives the best of itself if the 'sustain' is 10/12h. Before that, I find that the effect of compression on the attack is frankly pale. Suddenly, the knob 'attack' could be an on / off it does not really change much for my use.
So it's really a compressor sustainer AND MUST. It has its own character. That said, it must be tempered appearance 'sustain', it is far from extreme intake is correct sustain without falling into caricature.

SOUND QUALITY

I use 'attack' bottom 'sustain' at 3 o'clock and the 'level' at noon.
She brings a sin in His holy and proper sustain without exaggeration.
I play mostly rather vintage blues, rock, funk, and it suits all these styles. I play on a Sheraton II and HW1 Strat. Everything is plugged into a single channel all-tube british on the edge of crunch.
Once activated, I have a real presence and heat gain without altering the guitar or the grain. I often use it with a Tubescreamer switched downstream, or just before my wah, it is equally his job.
Anecdotal upstream use a Fuzz Face cranked ... but only to pick up the dirty good feedback. )
I take off a point for its tendency to blow a little, but just because one is not that much.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 2006 (or 2007?), With a small repair to the old connection level.
Since no problem. I was a little afraid of the mechanical switch but it did not move ...
This is a compressor which has its own style and is not suitable for all needs, but it is still found for a pittance used so not a huge risk either.

This is simply two compressors side by side. It is a clone of the Famous Ross Compressor and the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer (Ross OJ). This is an all analog device. There is just three knobs for the Ross (attack, sustain, level) and just a level know for the squeeze. No computers necessary. This is simply one 1/4" audio in and one out. It is not rackable, it is a pedal.


UTILIZATION

The setup is very simple. Simply adjust how much attack, how much sustain and the level for the ross. You only get to change the level on the OJ. This thing will squeeze and sustain the crap out of anything. Its great. I never got a manual with this, and I would never expect the need for one.


SOUND QUALITY

If you want Trey's sustain, or steely dan type guitar tones, or you just want to crunch the crap out of your audience. This thing is for you. It can also be nice and subtle for those who want a nice bluesy or R & B punch. I use this primarily for my guitar of course, but sometimes I click it on for my Fender Rhodes for fun, and it sounds great. It really sounds great with my Parker Fly classic.


OVERALL OPINION

I have been using this pedal for one year and have been very happy. I love the crunch you get out of this thing and the sustain is clear and long. The only thing that I don't like is how much noise it makes when you turn on both the ross and squeezer at the same time, but this is the nature of a compressor, not much you can do about it. I used to own a boss stomp box compressor, but I hated it. It sapped all my tone up, but the bi-comp is nice and transparent. It is $265 with a year waiting list, but if mine was lost, or I didn't own one, I would sign up right now!

Compressor / sustainer pedal format Micro
between a jack, an output, nothing more can (the catch is on the front of the pedals, with the power supply, not very practical)

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple, one button for attack rgler compression attack (Whoa) and to sustain rgler sustain, then a volume. TRS is simple, you turn in clean, and you turn to find what you want.
No need for this kind of manual pedals (all fawn I did not)

SOUND QUALITY

This is where the bottom lies. I am not at all convinced by the compression function (attack), compared with a CS-3 for example, is below. The sustainer does its job any more.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a baybay 25aine rcemment of euros, to see, I've seen. I think changing rapidly.
With exprience, I do not have that choice would do, but bargain price, you can afford to be wrong.

A compressor - sustainer pedal format effective and affordable.

UTILIZATION

Using very simple to reach everyone.
3 knobs: Attack - Sustain and Level.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent compared to the size and budget of the product.
Obviously you do not use this pedal to process the signal from a mix!
This nifty pedal will just help them play a very simple way on the dynamics of your guitar and bass.
It has long been my happiness to normalize my guitar sound and more specifically my drive signal while maintaining neutrality and its natural base.

OVERALL OPINION

The quality is really unbeatable price especially since it has become very rare today.
