+ Optical compressor taken DI pedal format (about 12x10x4)
Rugged aluminum, pretty well finished with a thick paint.
viewing window dB compressed.
a true bypass switch and silent
giving a drive the compression ratio
one volume.
two buttons for the DI in back panel (I do not know so I do not metals)
a button "instument active or passive" in back panel that allows you to choose the mode based on pre-amplified microphones or without your guitar.

UTILIZATION

The volume thoroughly to give the width in volume knob on the guitar.
Then guitars and drive according to taste.
simple, effective, no-frills!

SOUND QUALITY

Compression is just natural, transparent, no synthetic here, no breath, it's a compression that meets the sounds of instruments without altering them.
If you're used to classic cuts by condo 'you do not understand ... before turning it off, and immediately she went indispensable.
Used initially with an Ibanez RG-505 I found her already perfect, then I got my Blade Durango Deluxe (microphone preamplifier) ​​and together with the Aphex, they found themselves as kindred spirits!
So uncompromising sound quality, even if sometimes I want a little more sustain.
An undeniable advantage, the sound became much more accurate and as a booster, this compressor can be a cruncher amp even at low levels, it becomes necessary in an apartment and even crucial!
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>this compressor is the only one ever tried that does not kill the sound of EHX Français Muff'n!</span>

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month powered by a 9v power supply Ibanez.
easily adjustable, readable, accurate, robust and small as a hair bigger than a Boss and 2 cm less high.
Three major advantages:
- No breath
- Follows the sound of your instrument
- Back up power without the sound

after a week of use I sold my Boss CS-1 and CS-3
€ 100 bought new in black with a merchant who despaired of selling it I would definitely do it again this election, it is now my only compressor and will remain here!
