MXR CSP202 Custom Comp

Here is a well endowed with compressor since it has four settings:
2 External: output level and compression level
2 internal: attack level and level compressed frequency

This is a stamped "Custom Shop" with the famous chip CA3080, rare musical hyper release. The effect is as usual in analog MXR, and fits in a beautiful and sturdy white box dimensions, too, usual brand. Feeding can be done in two ways: internally by 9v battery or external AC transformer.
Full pedal, therefore.

UTILIZATION

When we know what we are looking to obtain any effect adjusts quickly and easily. The compressor is perhaps an exception to this rule. And all its settings will show numerous and sensitive.
The CSP202 with 4 settings require a little time and attention tests. And depending on the desired result (a homogeneous sound rhythmic or sustain long solo, for example), it will adapt these settings. But for everyone here, it remains obvious, of course!

SOUND QUALITY

I play Les Paul and various combos and heads (see my gear for more info).

The sound quality is at the rendezvous, as always with MXR brand that I love.
In the range of compressor (MXR and proposes 4), it shows the most transparent and offer the best level of output. It is also the quietest, insofar TRIM is adjusted delicately. Because if the parameter is pushed, the sound distorts and unless voluntarily seek such an effect that distorts the desired result.
I most often use this type of pedal to smooth my distortions and improve sustain. With its quiet operation and its neutrality, Custom Comp perfectly fulfills this role. But I prefer the version of Vintage Reissue Dyna Comp to sustain longer and more typical warm sound for solos. In his clear arpeggio, the Custom Comp wins just by its transparency.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 4 MXR compressors and my preference is therefore to reissue Vintage Dyna Comp. Provided that I use the compressor especially solo and grain and sustain the Reissue suit me more. Rhythmic arpeggios or clean sound, the trend reverses and then I recommend the Custom Comp does wonders for his neutrality in these scenarios.
In all cases, MRX offers, once again, a foot high sound quality and workmanship. Made in USA, as always for MXR Custom Comp is the proven effective, musical, complete and versatile for a price, in the end, quite reasonable and incommensurate with the abuses practiced by the manufacturers of "boutique".

Achetter shop in the advantage if the seller is nice: Power 6 pedals try compression in a soundproof room. In fact, the compression is subtle; EVERY pedal has a grain and a particular color.

This MXR me and this is one of the purest I tried .. No noise on the line when it comes into action, the MXR comp from home is a red interference of folly by the electronic board is not at all the same ..
