Published on 12/31/13 at 05:30Compressor transistor size rack (1u)
input and output jack unbalanced or balanced XLR
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use for a compressor, the attack and release settings are factory pre-set which not modifiable.
on the other hand, it must attack with a transformed impedance (600 ohms) and not the gross impedance low (a few million ohms) to get the best part.
that means it must be used loop send / return of the amp head is used an impedance transformer (DI or preamp / DI) active.
SOUND QUALITY
compression is high quality, very musical compared to compressor pedal size (EBS, Markbass, boss, Maxon, etc.), no coloration.
There is little use of high compression without the breath of death.
The soft and hardknee modes allow light cuts or prominent for large differences in dynamic compressions.
Some magazines, you can read it tends to eat treble for what my use with electric bass, I did not feel (probably also related to the spectrum of the instrument)
OVERALL OPINION
I would recommend this product to a basic use of compression, since there are fewer parameters to manage, it is very easy to use (very live), it is also a good ally in the studio.
Highlight: the meter seen that can visualize the operation and adjust input levels and output correctly.
