Nothing supernatural for a little money
RoRux 05.07.2020
I use the pedal to enrich the clean sound on the guitar. The pedal can be used as a booster, so there is a Level control. Personally, I almost didn't hear the impact on the sound of the Attack handle. But the Sustain regulator doesn't work badly. The build is normal. When switching, there are no extraneous sounds.

Decent / Great for the price
Anonymous 26.01.2017
I'm using this between my Mexi Strat and my Vox Lil' Night Train amp. It's a very "bright" combination, and this compressor helps attenuate this a bit. The effect is very subtle, you'll have to play around with the controls a bit and see how it affects the sound to get an idea of what it really does. Also works great as a boost for when you need that extra oomph.

+ Sturdy build
+ True bypass
+ Versatile (can be used as a boost)

+/- Subtle, transparent compression (Some might favour this, others might want compression that is a bit more "coloured", depends on the individual preferences)

Minor cons:
- Mediocre switch (for comparison, my TC Electronic Ditto looper has much smoother action and very quiet "click" when stepping on it)
- I've seen prettier pedals :)

Does a great job for the price, though maybe not the best introduction to the realm of compression for beginners. Overall, a good product for a bedroom player as myself.

Amazing, and simple
Rocky_L 11.06.2019
My first compressor pedal, and I'm not dissapointed.
It's very simple to use, knobs are responsive, build quality is great as always with this brand, it's not noisy, and no popping sound when engaging.
I mainly use it with guitars equipped with both humbucker and single coils. It makes the switching between positions more even, without loss in volume, even when splitting a humbucker. It's simple and It works like a charm, what's not to like?

Very Good Pedal
Ivan WCM 14.08.2017
Just purchased this pedal...and I use it a lot.

It provides good sustain and matches well with overdrive...

The pedal looks very solid on its enclosure.

Very useful..

I would encourage anyone to have one like this.

It's OK

It's a compressor. It's OK. I'm not blown away by it, but not disappointed either. Good for the money, but maybe just lacking something.

Amazingly good at this price point.
JoCa 25.09.2013
This is in essence Harley Benton's take on the MXR Dyna-Comp. For a first compressor it does a very good job, but don't expect it to rival units many times the money. It's a bit too coloured and at the point it starts compressing it can be a bit blunt in what it does.

Bought this for my father and he couldn't be happier. It's his first ever compressor and he badly needed one without knowing it. And isn't that rather common with compressors: you don't really know one until you have one?

My First comp
Disssorder 15.11.2022
Update!!! Very good of you really understand what it does . I am impressed.

I don't have experience with those things but I started sounding a lot better and my slapping actually makes sense.

good value.
Anonymous 23.06.2014
For the very low price this is a really useful compressor pedal. Great build quality. I don't use compression a lot so spending heaps on an expensive unit would be a waste. This does the job at a great price.
