«  A very good compressor »

Published on 08/19/12 at 04:49
As previously stated, it is a reference regarding compressors. See reviews for other specifications.
I use it directly in my rig low, mainly to enhance treble notes from the grave and balance it.
The connector XLR and allows use in many configurations. For my part, I do not plug in the effects loop of my amp (as it is often said to do), but immediately after my bass, the output level of the latter is sufficient to "driver" compressor and especially I find it more effective.

UTILIZATION

This unit could not be easier to use: you set the activation threshold, the compression ratio and output level. The attack and release settings are not programmable, but the presets are so effective that does cheerfully.
The manual is clear and offers many possibilities.

SOUND QUALITY

What I love about this compressor is that absolutely no one hears it: for the use I make of it is completely transparent, the sound of my bass in spring without damaging the stamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the machine for two years, once in my rack, it has more left. I bought after much research, and a little closed eyes, after all the advice I have read on the net. Despite its price a little high, it perfectly fulfills its role and confirms its reputation.
I think I would do this choice, despite the lack of available settings this compressor does exactly what can be expected of him.
