    Good compressor but a bit light

    Compressor / Booster.

    Effects not editable. Format not rackable.

    Analog effect.

    An input jack, an output, a standard 9V power supply input.

    A red LED demonstrates the working condition of the pedal and its intensity indicates how strongly the pedal pad ... it was still seen as a better indicator of compression ...

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration could not be more simple: a knob for the compression ratio, a volume knob, a 3 position switch (normal, MULTICOMP, tubesim) and two in the pedal trimpot to adjust the compression ratio of bass and treble frequencies Mode MULTICOMP.

    Manual clear and sufficient, and we want to find the compression is easy given the available settin…

    Configuration could not be more simple: a knob for the compression ratio, a volume knob, a 3 position switch (normal, MULTICOMP, tubesim) and two in the pedal trimpot to adjust the compression ratio of bass and treble frequencies Mode MULTICOMP.

    Manual clear and sufficient, and we want to find the compression is easy given the available settings (finally saw the few parameters to adjust, should not be demanding).

    SOUND QUALITY

    Compression is as I wanted: transparent, I put compression to 13h and 11h to the volume in Normal and roll! I never change these settings and the pedal is always enabled. It allows me to cut too big peaks in my attack, enhance harmonics, ghost notes, tapping game, etc. ... and increase my sustain while maintaining the personality and the sound of my bass.
    The compression ratio is still low at its maximum (5:1), so farewell large cuts and efficient limitation of the largest peaks, and the lack of fishing settings a bit when one wants to regain his.

    I use it with a Fender Precision U.S. Standard V.

    It clarifies my sound without coloring it, brilliantly I must say, I can not do without it and is still active.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about 6 months. In the studio I used a MarkBass Compressore which has a different style: the lamp colors the sound, there are many more compression under foot and we have all the necessary adjustments to a pro compressor (attack, release, etc. .. .). I still prefer the Multicomp: more neutral in its treatment and yet very effective and no-brainer.

    The only thing that pulls down what is a low compression ratio, too just to take one game a bit violent.

    The value for money is altogether honorable, what choice I would do without hesitation.

    Excellent

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    a pretty basic pedal effect, as often with BSE, but the key is l.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration:
    a switch for slectionner 3 types of compression (simulated tube ... etc.)
    a potentiomtre to assay the level of compression
    potentiomtre to assay a gain
    alummer a button or cut (in "true bypass)
    all in a very strong case in metal.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The quality of sound is really excellent. the sound of the bass it is magnificent without the dnatur. There is renewed heat when you press the button.
    I use a musicman stingray plugged into an amp ashdown. I use both on stage and in the studio. The effect can best get out of the mix and adds a bit more presence.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over a year.
    The pros: all (quality of sound / simplicity of use)
    The - I do not see
    The report price is honnte quality under the quality of the hardware ... there are cheaper, it said ... but you should know what you want!
    I would do it without hesitating choice.

    My oldest pedal

    A compressor is elementary for bass players ...
    In EBS, the MULTI COMP is a reference back more than a decade, still niche in the market.
    A simple system that allows a choice between Limit and compressor and allowing to use both simultaneously.
    A balance, a gain, three compression modes (Standard, multiband simulation lamps) and a True Bypass are made available to the user.
    Simple and cruelly effective.

    UTILIZATION

    At one time I was 4 EBS pedals: the octave, envelope, distortion (and yes ...) and famous compressor.
    In this collection, I have kept the Multi comp and the envelope.
    I use a little envelope (no more), cons by my compressor is always active on my pedal board.

    My settings have not changed since 2001!
    I do not limit it.

    SOUND QUALITY

    My signal is stabilized more effectively. The compression is there while remaining transparent. I hate that sound compression and twist the signal. Here is the class.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I said everything I believed to be buried with this pedal. I gained when I worked at PIGALLE, so I had time to try anything at the time.
    The budget is reasonable for its good value

    Compressor pedal with 3 compression modes.
    A switch and two settings: gain and compression.
    Possibility to adjust the input level depending on the instrument's electronic device (passive or active).
    I own the first model without true bypass.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration could not be more simple and so much the better deal because a compressor is never simple, especially in emergency live.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Pedal very useful to me for passive instruments:

    - Provides the outline notes
    - Leveling attacks
    - Gives a headroom avoids pushing the amp

    - Provides the outline notes
    - Leveling attacks
    - Gives a headroom avoids pushing the amp

    I use it mainly with a Fender P Bass to boost my sound on stage and clarify the attacks. In this case the pedal is pressed continuously. My preferred mode is the mode MULTICOMP (compression separate bass and treble).
    Settings: noon for the gain and compression ratio (to vary the compression ratio depending on situation + or - 10 min.

    Can serve as a boost for a solo in occasional use (the headroom is important).



    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using about 5 years and I can say that the case is solid and reassuring effect and very effective in this price range around 100 €. Course for using more sophisticated compressors and sometimes much more expensive (DBX 160, Chandler germanium or other) it has its limits even at this level settings but is still more convenient pedal on stage unless to have a technician assigned.
    Are only real fault is a significant consumption which requires connection to an external power supply.
    the price / quality ratio seems very correct and I would do this choice without hesitation. Very good pedal
