Correct
Here we have to do with a robust pedal, a little high, but the PCB is also impressive. Input and output jack 6.3, entry into such power or battery BOSS.
Two LEDs, one for the general state (enabled or not), a second yellow to signal peaks.
Three knobs, you can of course be easier, but the pedal would lose its charm! A volume control, one for the compression ratio and the last, and most importantly, one that acts as a tone.
I had to change his knob compression due to improper packaging by the seller. If it ever happen to someone, be aware that we must take this type of knob: https://www.banzaimusic.com/100k-log-RAT-POT.html
UTILIZATION
The pedal is easy to use.
Indeed, I will pass on the volume knob to speak mainly of the other two. Compression is progressive throughout the stroke potentiometer: a slight compression in the top third, middle in the second and rather strong in the background.
The knob "BIAS" is very useful because it allows to fundamentally change its sound. I use it early in the chain, directly after the guitar to give a clear sound to my pedals, it's very effective.
SOUND QUALITY
Bugera 333-212 tested with two Jackson humbuckers feature, the sound is better than a Dyna Comp (ok, it does not have as many opportunities). We have no gain or loss of volume. The sound of the guitar and amp are respected.
Tested on a Peavey Bandit 112 with Telecaster and Stratocaster, it's just as well, with a slight preference for the Strat! She gives her a good slamming, very round, it's nice! I compared it with my DOD FX-80B which I find very good, for now it is the same (but its setting Eq could give him a narrow lead).
Be careful though not to push the volume compression + thoroughly together, one breath might otherwise appear. Otherwise it is very transparent, and this is a good place for me.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about a month, which is low in time to estimate the guitar stuff, but it is a compressor, its role, although important, is limited.
It's good stuff cheap, I recommend to those who would cross to take (the bias knob is the main benefit of this pedal)!
Paid € 20 including postage on occasion, I find this quality / price ratio honest. Anyway, although it is clear that moving towards the gear to over 100 € will be higher quality, I think we are more and more deals of this type.
