«  Excellent pedal »

Published on 11/10/11 at 06:07
Using compressor pedal with 4 buttons:
- Attack: is the "sustainer" that emphasizes the attack of its product (the "beginning of his"
- Compression: level of "crash". I do not like that word which might seem derogatory, but simply means that the sounds of low intensity will be re-raised, and those of high intensity lowered, so as to produce an overall sound more even.
- Level: sound intensity that passes through the pedal, useful for adjusting the volume pedal between active and inactive
- Emphasis: it is a bonus. It is a priori whether the compression is more pronounced on the bass or treble.

My basic setup:
- Attack at 3
- Compression at 9am
- Level at 11
- Emphasis on Hi

If I really want to accentuate certain notes, I increase the compression. Attention, increasing the compression increases the breath.

I place the beginning of the pedal board, making it much more natural end of a chain or crush it all.

Pedal will not make sense for a beginner, but is essential to the more experienced musician. Personally, it is almost always on ... but with sparse settings.

Input / output jack, power supply 9V Boss style (battery or mains), heavy and solid (all metal), a bit narrower than the Boss pedals.

She has what it takes, no less.

UTILIZATION

Understanding compression is inherently difficult, so I will not penalize the pdéale for that. It's easy for me, except perhaps to understand the emphasis that is not me really.

SOUND QUALITY

A compressor pedal always blows (except the super expensive), but this without any excess, which it seems it apart from its competitor the CS-3. That's what decided me.
The compression does not alter the sound (except for the compression itself) that is natural in both clean distortion.

Used with a Gretsch, it gives the slamming my TV Jones

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, but I've been dealing with compression in a multi-purpose. It has nothing to do because of poor quality compression gives the breath and makes his "phone" what i is not the case here.

Strong, effective for a reasonable price. Perfect for me.
