AnthonYHurleY « A good compressor but not for me. »
Published on 04/02/11 at 03:49Compressor pedal 1 input and 1 output jack, a power supply input. 9V.
Emphasis 4 potentiometers, volume, attack and compression.
Rather simple but quite effective. Too bad it still is not a bit more complete.
UTILIZATION
The pedal is simple to use as long as you take the time to find settings that suit us.
A compressor is neither more nor less, not a cockpit of airbus ...
The manual is comprehensive and very clear and French. Examples of controls "types" are even proposed.
SOUND QUALITY
The sounds you get with this pedal are pretty good. The controls are responsive and actually influence the sound without being extremely accurate. (This is not Tech21) But that's fine. We arrive to find what you want quickly.
Equipment used: Fender Tom Delonge Stratocaster plugged into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Limited Edition Red Wine (used only in clean) and a Tech21 California for lead through jack in good condition and of sufficient quality.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought a few years ago but used only by periods jerky ... Desperate to try every time to use it but quickly changing his mind and putting it back in its box ...
Already, it tends to color the sound, something that can pass to the limit (it boosts the mids), but what bothers me most is that it also produces breath. Logic for a compressor we say, but ... In its clear this is not awkward at all (or almost inaudible) but once it gets triggered saturation embarrassing. Especially if the compression is knob led to more than 1 / 4 of its stroke.
It is true that I have not tried the other compressor so good ... I'm not saying that this pedal is bad, far from it. But the fact that it is not transparent latch the picture somewhat. Again, in my case this is not annoying but it can be for someone looking for a compressor that does not color his sound. (My favorite things anyway)
That is why I intend to turn to another compressor. In this case a Wampler Ego Compressor that looks to be better, a little more complete and very, very clear! Having regard to the normal price range is another.
The price / quality ratio seems correct (especially since the price has dropped in the meantime) but again, there are many other compressors that I have not tried.
I do not probably do it again this choice today.
